A liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a colored subsidiary light blocking member covering a space between first and second pixel electrodes. First and third shield electrodes are placed under a data line. The first and third shield electrodes are disposed parallel to the data line and across the data line from each other. A second shield electrode connects the bottom end of the first shield electrode with the top end of the third shield electrode at an angle of about 30 degrees to about 150 degrees. With this structure, light leakage at a gap between the pixel electrode and a possible short between the shield electrodes are prevented.
