Abstract:
1. A multi-domain LCD device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; gate lines and data lines defining a plurality of pixel regions on the first substrate; liquid crystal control electrodes formed at the central region and the peripheral region of the pixel regions, the liquid crystal control electrodes at the central region and the peripheral region being formed on the same layer; a pixel electrode formed at the plurality of the pixel regions; a plurality of electric field distortion slits formed in the pixel electrodes; a common electrode formed on the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes liquid crystal molecules that are symmetrically arranged by the first electric field distortion unit, and a plurality of domains formed by the first and second electric field distortion units, wherein a pixel voltage is applied to the pixel electrode and a electric field distortion voltage is applied to the liquid crystal control electrodes at the central region and the peripheral region of the pixel region.
