Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:first and second substrates; a plurality of gate bus lines and data bus lines on the first substrate in a matrix form; a plurality of pixels defined by the gate bus lines and the data bus lines, the pixels having first and second regions; at least one common bus line at each pixel, the common bus line being parallel to the gate bus line; at least a pair of first parallel electrodes and second parallel electrodes in the first and second regions, respectively, the first and second parallel electrodes having first and second electrode elongation directions (&thgr;EL1 and &thgr;EL2) with respect to a longitudinal direction of the common bus line; first and second alignment layers over the first and second substrates, the first and second alignment layers having first and second alignment directions (&thgr;R1 and &thgr;R2), respectively; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and wherein the first and second electrode elongation directions are 90Â° and between 90Â° and 180Â°, respectively.
