Abstract:
A multi-domain liquid crystal display device comprising:first and second substrates facing each other; a liquid crystal layer between said first and second substrates; a plurality of gate bus lines arranged in a first direction on said first substrate and a plurality of data bus lines arranged in a second direction on said first substrate to define a pixel region, the pixel region being divided into at least two portions and the liquid crystal layer in each portion being driven differently from each other; a common electrode on said second substrate; a pixel electrode electrically charged through said data bus line to drive said liquid crystal layer with said common electrode; an auxiliary electrode on a same layer whereon said pixel electrode is formed, a potential difference between the auxiliary electrode and the pixel electrode controlling the alignment direction of liquid crystal layer; a passivation insulating said pixel and auxiliary electrodes from electrodes and bus lines other than the pixel and auxiliary electrodes; and an alignment layer on at least one substrate between said first and second substrates.
