Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal panel, comprising: a first substrate, comprising an active device array, a pixel electrode layer and a plurality of first alignment patterns, wherein each of the first alignment patterns has a plurality of first shrinking areas separated from each other, the first shrinking areas within each of the first alignment patterns are separated by a fixed distance, the width of the plurality of first shrinking areas within each of the first alignment patterns is fixed and smaller than that of the other areas of the first alignment pattern, the length of each of the first shrinking areas is smaller than the fixed distance between two adjacent shrinking areas of the first shrinking areas, each of the first alignment patterns is comprised of a plurality of slits formed in the pixel electrode layer, wherein the pixel electrode layer disposed between two neighboring slits having the plurality of first shrinking areas, the pixel electrode layer further comprises a plurality of openings, and the plurality of openings is arranged along a direction parallel to an extending direction of one of the slits; a second substrate disposed above the first substrate, comprising an electrode layer and a plurality of second alignment patterns thereon, wherein the second alignment patterns and the first alignment patterns are staggered, a projection area of the plurality of second alignment patterns on the first substrate is overlapping with a projection area of the plurality of openings; and a liquid crystal layer, disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
