A liquid crystal display including the first and second substrates facing each other and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates is provided. A storage electrode, a transparent insulating layer pattern, and a pixel electrode are formed on the first substrate. A common electrode having a domain divider is formed on the second substrate. The transparent insulating layer pattern includes an opening having a first area having a first width and a second area having a second width narrower than the first width. The domain divider partially overlaps the storage electrode in the second area of the opening of the transparent insulating layer pattern.
