Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a pixel electrode comprising a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode in a pixel area of the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and at least one sub cutting pattern disposed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a first portion disposed on the first pixel electrode and a second portion disposed on the second pixel electrode, wherein the first electrode pixel is configured to generate a first electric field in the first portion, the second electrode pixel is configured to generate a second electric field in the second portion, and the first electric field is different from the second electric field, wherein a first domain having a first brightness and a second domain having a second brightness different from the first brightness are formed in the pixel area, wherein the at least one sub cutting pattern comprises a first part extending toward the first domain and a second part extending toward the second domain, and wherein the at least one sub cutting pattern has a chevron shape.
