Liquid crystal display having biased bending vertical alignment
A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate comprising a first electrode; a second substrate having a switching element disposing thereon a second electrode having a plurality of sub-electrodes and at least one elongate hole having a longitudinal direction and facing to the first electrode, a third electrode positioned under the at least one hole and between the second electrode and the second substrate, connected to a gate electrode or an independent electrode, and having at least one notch disposed on an edge thereof and a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the elongate hole; a liquid crystal layer having a plurality of liquid crystal molecules and interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The liquid crystal molecules positioned above and in a vicinity to the hole are aligned to the longitudinal direction of the hole, and the liquid crystal molecules above and in a vicinity to the notch are pointed to a valley of the notch in the presence of a sufficient electric field across the first substrate and the second substrate.
