Abstract:
1. A multi-domain in-plane switching liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate; a chevron shaped electrode structure including plural chevron-shaped pixel electrodes interleaved with plural chevron-shaped common electrodes in both a horizontal and vertical direction on only one of said first substrate and said second substrate, wherein said interleaved plural chevron-shaped pixel and common electrodes divide said electrode structure of each pixel into at least two different regions; a first and a second alignment layer on an interior surface of each of said first substrate and said second substrate, respectively; an anisotropic liquid crystal material sandwiched between said first substrate and said second substrate to form a liquid crystal cell, wherein said first and said second alignment layers are adjacent to said liquid crystal material to provide alignment of said liquid crystal material; and a first and a second polarizer disposed on an exterior surfaces of said first substrate and said second substrate, wherein said multi-domain in-plane switching liquid crystal display has a multi-domain liquid crystal distribution where one is in a horizontal direction and another is in a vertical direction due to the chevron-shaped electrode structure with small color shift, wide viewing angle and fast response.
