1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a plurality of pixels in a matrix, each pixel of the plurality of pixels having:
a first substrate;
a second substrate;
a first electrode on an opposing face of the first substrate, wherein the first substrate is opposite to the second substrate;
a second electrode on an opposing face of the second substrate, which is opposite to the first substrate;
a color filter layer between the first substrate and the first electrode, the color filter layer providing a plurality of uneven portions above the first substrate;
a liquid crystal layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules;
a power feeding structure that overlaps a black matrix of the second substrate, wherein the power feeding structure is connected to the first electrode; and
a plurality of branch projecting portions in a plane of the first substrate,
wherein the plurality of branch projecting portions includes (i) a first subset of the branch projecting portions that extends from a first side of a trunk projecting portion on an axis and (ii) a second subset of the branch projecting portions that extends from a second side of the trunk projecting portion on the axis, and
wherein recess projecting portions are provided between adjacent branch projecting portions within each subset in which ends of the recess projecting portions are curved.
