Abstract

A thin film transistor array panel is provided, which includes: an insulating substrate; a first signal wire formed on the insulating substrate; a second signal wire formed on the insulating substrate and intersecting the first signal wire in an insulating manner; first and second pixel electrodes formed in a pixel area defined by the intersections of the first and the second signal wires and including a plurality of subareas partitioned by cutouts; a direction control electrode formed in the pixel area and including a portion overlapping at least one of the cutouts; and a first thin film transistor connected to the direction control electrode, the first signal wire, and the second signal wire.
