Abstract: A display substrate includes a gate line and a data line disposed on a base substrate. A switching element is connected to the gate line and the data line. A first pixel electrode is connected to the switching element, and a second pixel electrode is disposed on the first pixel electrode. The first pixel electrode includes first sub-electrodes that are separated by a first slit pattern. The second pixel electrode includes second sub-electrodes that are separated by a second slit pattern and extend across the first sub-electrodes. Therefore, a capacitance of a storage capacitor formed of overlapped portions of the first and second pixel electrodes is reduced, such that the charging rate of the storage capacitor is increased.
