A liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate; a gate line disposed
on the first substrate; a data line intersecting the gate line; a thin
film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a coupling
electrode connected to the thin film transistor; a first sub-pixel
electrode connected to the thin film transistor; a second sub-pixel
electrode capacitively coupled to the coupling electrode; a second
substrate facing the first substrate; a common electrode disposed on the
second substrate; and a polarizer disposed on the first substrate or the
second substrate and having a polarization axis. The coupling electrode
is elongated substantially parallel to the polarization axis and has a
first edge substantially parallel to or substantially perpendicular to
the polarization axis.
