Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal layer composed of liquid crystal that has a negative dielectric anisotropy; a plurality of pixel electrodes each corresponding to a dot, a plurality of the dots defining a unit pixel and each pixel electrode having a first side and a second side, the first side being opposite from the second side; a switching element used for applying driving voltage selectively to the pixel electrode; a signal line connected to the switching element and located adjacent to the first side of the pixel electrode; a same potential line that extends in the same direction as the signal line and being applied with the same voltage as that applied to the signal line, the same potential line being located adjacent to the second side of the pixel electrode; and a connection line that electrically connects the signal line to the same potential line, the connection line being located between the signal line and the same potential line, wherein a non-formation portion, where the pixel electrode is not formed, is located adjacent to the pixel electrode, the connection line being located in substantial alignment with the non-formation portion; and each of the plurality of the dots includes a plurality of sub-dots and a dot boundary portion, the dot boundary portion being disposed between the sub-dots and including the non-formation portion, the connection line being provided below the dot boundary portion.
