Title:
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/118085
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A pixel electrode (1) has a frame portion (6) along the entire inner circumference of a pixel (10). The frame portion (6) is provided with a plurality of fine electrodes (7a-7d) each disposed to form an angle of 45 degrees to the polarization axis of a linear polarizing plate. Note that excluding the frame portion (6) and the fine electrodes (7a-7d) in the pixel electrode (1), that is, the central portion of the pixel electrode (1) is provided with one slit (8). An application of a voltage to the pixel electrode (1) causes liquid crystal molecules (4) to be aligned in four different directions along the fine electrodes (7a-7d). Furthermore, the liquid crystal molecules (4) are affected by the frame portion (6) along the entire inner circumference of the pixel (10) so as to be tilted from the center of the pixel electrode (1) towards the outer circumference portion of an opposite electrode. That is, the liquid crystal molecules (4) are to be aligned in four different directions while being tilted from the center of the pixel electrode (1) towards the outer circumference portion of the opposite electrode.
