Abstract:
1. A multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to each other and having a space therebetween; a matrix of pixel electrodes formed on the first substrate, facing the second substrate, and including a plurality of alignment slits; a common electrode formed on the second substrate, facing the first substrate, and including a plurality of alignment slits; and liquid crystal molecules disposed in the space, each of which has an orientation varying with an electric field applied between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode and a position thereof relative to the alignment slits of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode; wherein the alignment slits of at least one of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode include at least two crossing slits having an included angle less than 90 degrees, at least one of the pixel electrodes is defined with a plurality of sub-pixel electrodes, each of which constitute an LC alignment unit along with the common electrode, each of the sub-pixels has slanting slits serving as some of the alignment slits, which are provided at corners thereof, each of the slanting slits extends along diagonals of the sub-pixel electrode, the slanting slits extending along a diagonal of the sub-pixel electrode has a total length equal to substantially ⅓ the total length of the diagonal of the sub-pixel electrode.
