Abstract:
A wide viewing angle liquid crystal display, comprising:a lower and an upper substrates being opposed with interleaving a liquid crystal layer;a data bus line and a gate bus line being arranged over the lower substrate and being arranged to be perpendicularly crossed with each other to form an unit pixel region, the unit pixel region being divided into a first region and a second region;a switching devices being arranged at an intersection of the data bus line and the gate bus line;first and second counter electrodes; anda pixel electrodes being arranged in the unit pixel region, which a display signal is applied thereto,wherein when the switching device is turned on, the liquid crystal molecules in the unit pixel region twistedly arranged and when the switching device is turned off, an electric field perpendicular to a surface of the lower surface is generated in the first region of the unit pixel region and at the same time, an electric field parallel to the surface of the lower substrate is generated in the second region of the unit pixel region.
