Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate having a plurality of first pixel electrodes formed on one side; a second substrate having a plurality of second pixel electrodes formed on one side and which is placed opposite to the first substrate so that each of the second pixel electrodes and a corresponding one of the first pixel electrodes of the first substrate face each other; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a plurality of first openings per first pixel electrode are provided on each of the first pixel electrodes in a regular checkered pattern with each first opening having a length extending in a first direction and a width extending in a second direction, and the length of each first opening is larger than the width of each first opening, wherein a plurality of second openings per second pixel electrode are provided on each of the second pixel electrodes in a regular checkered pattern with each second opening having a length extending in the first direction and a width extending in the second direction, and the length of each second opening is larger than the width of each second opening, wherein in a planar view of the liquid crystal display the plurality of first openings and the plurality of second openings are alternately arranged in the first direction so that in the planar view of the liquid crystal display every two immediately adjacent openings aligned along the first direction are one of the first openings and one of the second openings, and wherein every two immediately adjacent openings of the first pixel electrodes are two of the first openings, and every two immediately adjacent openings of the second pixel electrodes are two of the second openings.
