Liquid crystal display and thin film transistor array panel

Abstract

A liquid crystal display is provided, which includes a gate line formed on a first insulating substrate, a data line intersecting the gate line and insulated from the gate line, a pixel electrode provided in a pixel area defined by the intersection of the gate line and the data line, a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate, a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, a first cutout in the pixel electrode, and a second cutout provided in the common electrode and partitioning the pixel area into a plurality of domains along with the first cutout. The plurality of domains in the pixel area are classified into at least two types based on the presence of an organic insulating layer.

1 . A liquid crystal display comprising: 
 a first insulating substrate;    a pixel electrode formed on the first insulating substrate;    an organic insulating layer formed on a portion of the pixel electrode;    a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate with a gap;    a light blocking layer, a color filter and a common electrode formed on the second insulating substrate; and    liquid crystals interposed between the first and second insulating substrates,    wherein when a region on the pixel electrode occupied by the liquid crystals is classified into a first region with the organic insulating layer and a second region without the organic insulating layer and a voltage is applied between the common electrode and the pixel electrode, electric field formed in the first region is weaker than that of the second region.
