Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate arranged to oppose said first substrate; a liquid crystal layer arranged between said first and second substrates; a plurality of gate bus lines extending in a first direction; a plurality of drain bus lines extending in a second direction, where said second direction is different from said first direction; at least one auxiliary capacitance bus line extending in said first direction; a first sub picture element electrode; a second sub picture element electrode; and first and second auxiliary capacitance lower electrodes extending from said auxiliary capacitance bus line in said second direction, such that a combination of said first and second auxiliary capacitance lower electrodes and a portion of said auxiliary capacitance bus line within a picture element region form a generally cross-shaped structure, wherein said first sub picture element electrode is not in contact with said second sub picture element electrode, wherein a portion of said first sub picture element electrode overlaps a portion of said first auxiliary capacitance lower electrode, a portion of said second auxiliary capacitance lower electrode, and a portion of said auxiliary capacitance bus line, wherein said generally cross-shaped structure is provided at boundaries of a plurality of domain control fields, and wherein said generally cross-shaped structure is provided at boundaries of four of said domain control fields.
