Abstract:
A substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising:an insulating substrate for holding a liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy between the insulating substrate itself and an opposite substrate; a plurality of alignment regulating protrusions formed on the insulating substrate, for regulating alignment of the liquid crystal, the alignment regulating protrusions including those having sectional shapes that are different from each other; and color filters formed between the insulating substrate and the alignment regulating protrusions and disposed in such regions as to be opposed to respective pixel electrodes formed on the opposite substrate, wherein the alignment regulating protrusions include linear protrusions that are formed obliquely with respect to end portions of each of the pixel electrodes and linear auxiliary protrusions that branch off the protrusions and each of which extends along an associated end portion of each of the pixel electrodes, and wherein the protrusions and the auxiliary protrusions have different sectional shapes.
