Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate disposed opposite a second substrate with a predetermined gap therebetween; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and the second substrates; a gate line and a data line disposed on the first substrate in a matrix configuration and defining pixel areas; a counter electrode disposed on each pixel area of the first substrate; a first pixel electrode disposed on the counter electrode with at least one insulating layer therebetween; a second pixel electrode disposed on the counter electrode with at least one insulating layer therebetween; wherein the first pixel electrode comprises a plurality of parallel electrodes, and each parallel electrode comprises a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, a fourth segment, and a fifth segment, and wherein the first segment includes an angle of θ from the horizontal, the second segment includes an angle of φ from the horizontal, and the third segment includes an angle of θ from the horizontal, and wherein the angle of θ is greater than the angle of φ; wherein the second pixel electrode comprises a plurality of parallel electrodes, and each parallel electrode comprises a sixth segment, a seventh segment, and a eighth segment; and wherein the sixth segment includes an angle of −θ from the horizontal, the seventh segment includes an angle of −φ from the horizontal, and the eighth segment includes an angle of −θ from the horizontal, and wherein the angle of −θ is greater than the angle of −φ; wherein the entire first pixel electrode is substantially a continuous ziqzaq-shaped line.
