A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a first substrate that has a first pixel area with a first transmitting region and a first non-transmitting region and a second pixel area with a second transmitting region and a second non-transmitting region, a first pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate in the first pixel area, and a second pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate in the second pixel area. An area of the first pixel electrode in the first transmitting region is greater than that of the second pixel electrode in the second transmitting region, and an area of the first pixel electrode in the first non-transmitting region is less than that of the second pixel electrode in the second non-transmitting region.
