First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first substrate;
a gate line disposed on the first substrate;
a data line intersecting the gate line;
a thin film transistor comprising a gate electrode connected to the gate line, a source electrode connected to the data line, and a drain electrode;
an interconnection connected to the drain electrode;
a coupling electrode connected to the interconnection;
a passivation layer disposed on the gate line, the data line, the thin film transistor, the interconnection, and the coupling electrode;
a first sub-pixel electrode disposed on the passivation layer and connected to the drain electrode;
a second sub-pixel electrode disposed on the passivation layer, spaced apart from the first sub-pixel electrode, and overlapping the coupling electrode and the interconnection;
a second substrate facing the first substrate; and
a polarizer having polarization axis, disposed on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate,wherein the interconnection has a smaller width than that of the coupling electrode, andwherein the at least one edge of the coupling electrode is substantially parallel to or substantially perpendicular to the polarization axis.

Abstract
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.
