Abstract: Disclosed is an LCD preventing color shift and simultaneously improving the characteristics of viewing angle. The LCD comprises a substrate and a common electrode and a pixel electrode having same spiral shape formed on the substrate and being opposed each other, wherein an electric field formed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode is radial shape.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display. The display has a first substrate and a second substrate. One of the substrates is disposed opposite the other a first distance apart. Each of the substrates has an inner surface and an outer surface that is opposite the inner surface. A liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the inner surfaces of the substrates. At least a pair of a first electrode and a second electrode are arranged along a first direction on the inner surface of the first substrate. The first electrode is disposed parallel to the second electrode a second distance apart. A first homeotropic alignment film is disposed on the first substrate including the first and second electrodes. At least a pair of a third electrode and a fourth electrode are arranged along a second direction on the second substrate. The third electrode is disposed parallel to the fourth electrode a third distance apart, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
