A liquid crystal display includes: a substrate; a gate line disposed on the substrate; a storage voltage line disposed on the substrate and extending substantially parallel to the gate line; a data line disposed on the substrate; a reference voltage line disposed on the substrate and extending substantially parallel to the data line; first and second subpixel electrodes disposed in a pixel area; a first switching element connected to the gate line, the data line, and the first subpixel electrode; a second switching element connected to the gate line, the data line, and the second subpixel electrode; and a third switching element connected to the second subpixel electrode and the reference voltage line, wherein the storage voltage line and the reference voltage line are not connected to each other.
