A liquid crystal display (LCD) having high luminance and color renditions is provided. The liquid crystal display includes a first insulating substrate, a gate line and a data line crossing each other on the first insulating substrate to define a pixel. First and second sub-pixel electrodes divide the pixel into two parts. A first switching element drives the first sub-pixel electrode and a second switching element drives the second sub-pixel electrode. A second insulating substrate faces the first insulating substrate. A color pattern is arranged on the second insulating substrate and overlaps the first sub-pixel electrode. A contrast pattern overlaps the second sub-pixel electrode.

In a color filter substrate (1) in which unit pixels (2), each of which is formed of sub-pixels (3) of a plurality of colors, are arranged two-dimensionally in matrix, when an area of each of the unit pixels (2) exceeds 0.1 mm2, a viewer has not been able to recognize additive color mixture of the sub-pixels (3), and display quality of the color filter substrate (1) has been decreased.
