Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing said first substrate; a liquid crystal layer between said first substrate and said second substrate; a first electrode formed on said first substrate; and a second electrode formed on said second substrate, wherein said first electrode is divided into at least two regions such that at least two domains of different liquid crystal orientation directions are defined within a single pixel; wherein a first of said at least two regions and a second of said at least two regions are located in a diagonal manner with respect to each other, and thus are not aligned in either a row direction or a column direction with respect to each other; wherein said first region and said second region each include a slit pattern defined by a plurality of slits extending in a slanted direction with respect to an edge of said first or second region, respectively, and further wherein said slits of said first region and said slits of said second region are generally parallel to each other both within each of said regions as well as across said first and second regions, wherein a polymer, formed from a polymerizable compound that has been polymerized, is formed between said first substrate and said second substrate, and wherein the amount of the polymerizable compound remaining in the liquid crystal layer after the polymerization is not more than 0.05 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the liquid crystal layer.
