Abstract:
A liquid crystal display having a parallel electrode structure for driving the display by controlling an electric field which is parallel to a substrate, the parallel electrode structure having:a common electrode which includes a plurality of lower comb-tooth-like electrodes which are parallel to each other and a portion which integrally connects the upper comb-tooth-like electrodes, and a pixel electrode which includes a plurality of upper comb-tooth-like electrodes which are parallel to each other and a portion which integrally connects the upper comb-tooth-like electrodes, and the liquid crystal display comprising: pairs of electrodes, each pair consisting of one of the lower comb-tooth-like electrodes and one of the upper comb-tooth-like electrodes, which at least partially overlap each other, wherein the pairs of electrodes are disposed so that an interval from one pair to another pair is a predetermined interval.
