Abstract:
1. A substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising: a gate bus line arranged on an insulating substrate; a drain bus line arranged to cross the gate bus line with an insulating film interposed in between; a storage capacitor bus line arranged to be approximately parallel with the gate bus line; a transistor including a gate electrode connected electrically to the gate bus line, a drain electrode connected electrically to the drain bus line, and a source electrode; a first pixel electrode connected electrically to the source electrode of the transistor; a second pixel electrode arranged to be opposed to part of the source electrode of the transistor via an insulating film and to be separate from the first pixel electrode; and a slit arranged between adjoining end portions of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode and including a first portion extending approximately perpendicularly to the storage capacitor bus line and a second portion extending obliquely to the storage capacitor bus line; wherein a width of the second portion of the slit is greater than a shortest width of the first portion of the slit.
