A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a pixel electrode which is disposed on the first substrate and includes a first subpixel electrode which is disposed at a pixel area and includes a plurality of first branch electrodes, and a second subpixel electrode which is separated from the first subpixel electrode, disposed at an outer edge of the pixel area, encloses the first subpixel electrode and includes a plurality of second branch electrodes, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a common electrode disposed on the second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, where a first voltage applied to the first subpixel electrode is larger than a second voltage applied to the second subpixel electrode.
