Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display having a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, the liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate treated by vertical alignment process, wherein the first substrate is provided with a plurality of pixel electrodes; a liquid crystal layer being sandwiched between the first and the second substrates, the liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules aligning in a direction generally perpendicular to a principal surface of the first substrate when no substantial electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer; and a first domain regulator provided in one of two adjacent pixels or two adjacent pixels representing the same color, and a second domain regulator in the other of the two adjacent pixels or the two adjacent pixels representing the same color, wherein the first domain regulator and the second domain regulators are used for regulating an orientation of the liquid crystal layer such that the liquid crystal molecules are aligned obliquely when a voltage is applied, so that the orientation of the liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of first and second directions wherein the first directions are different from the second directions; wherein the first domain regulator is selected from the group consisting of domain regulators (A), (C) and (E), and the second domain regulator is selected from the group consisting of domain regulators (B) and (D), the domain regulator (A) comprising: the domain regulator (B) comprising: the domain regulator (C) comprising: the domain regulator (D) comprising: the domain regulator (E) comprising:
