Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: liquid crystals having negative dielectric anisotropy and are vertically aligned when voltage is not applied between a first substrate provided with a pixel electrode having micro slits and a second substrate facing the first substrate; and an alignment orientation of the liquid crystals is controllable to a direction in which the micro slits are extended, wherein the pixel electrode includes: a direct coupling part which is electrically connected to a switching element; and a capacitive coupling part which is electrically insulated from the switching element, and which forms capacitance with a control capacitance electrode which has a same potential as that of a source electrode of the switching element, wherein a smaller voltage is applied to the capacitive coupling part when the capacitive coupling part is driven than that to the direct coupling part, wherein the direct coupling part and the capacitive coupling part are isolated from each other at a border of the control capacitance electrode and/or a storage capacitor bus line.
