Abstract:
A liquid crystal display panel using a horizontal electric field driving system, in which a liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between a pair of opposing substrates, a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of source lines are disposed virtually orthogonal to one another between said pair of substrates, and a pixel is surrounded by the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of source lines, wherein said pixel comprises:an active element,a pixel electrode which is connected with one of the plurality of source lines via said active element and has a wire disposed virtually in parallel with one of said plurality of source lines, anda common-use electrode which includes a main wire disposed virtually in parallel with said plurality of gate lines, and includes sub wires branching out from the main wire in two directions so as to be arranged virtually in parallel with the plurality of source lines,the main wire being arranged to extend through a central part of the pixel and virtually orthogonal to said plurality of source lines, andwherein an area surrounded by said pixel electrode and said common-use electrode serves as a display section, and said pixel electrode and said common-use electrode are arranged so as to generate electric lines of force which achieve an even rotating direction of a liquid crystal molecule in all display sections of the pixel when voltage is applied.
