| 1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a first substrate comprising a gate line, a data line, a pixel electrode and a storage electrode forming a storage capacitor
with the pixel electrode;
a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate and comprising a common electrode; and
a liquid crystal layer which is operative in a vertical alignment mode and is sandwiched between the first substrate and the
second substrate;
wherein the pixel electrode forms a matrix and comprises a reference side which is parallel to the gate line, a pair of first
sides which are parallel to each other and are inclined at a first angle to the reference side, and a pair of second sides
which are parallel to each other and are inclined at a second angle larger than the first angle, and
wherein the storage capacitor is placed within a reduction area where the pair of second sides face each other and does not
extend out of the reduction area.
