Abstract
A liquid crystal display is provided, which includes a gate line formed on a first insulating substrate, a data line intersecting the gate line and insulated from the gate line, a pixel electrode provided in a pixel area defined by the intersection of the gate line and the data line, a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate, a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, a first cutout in the pixel electrode, and a second cutout provided in the common electrode and partitioning the pixel area into a plurality of domains along with the first cutout. The plurality of domains in the pixel area are classified into at least two types based on thickness of the liquid crystal layer.
