Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: first and second substrates; gate and data lines crossing each other on the first substrate to define a pixel region; a pixel electrode in the pixel region; a common electrode on the second substrate; a common auxiliary electrode in the pixel region corresponding the periphery of the pixel region and having a crossing portion crossing the pixel region, the crossing portion of the common auxiliary electrode being substantially parallel to the gate line for the entire length of the crossing portion and dividing the pixel region into at least two sub-regions; dielectric protrusions on the common electrode in respective ones of the sub-regions of the pixel region; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates wherein one of the dielectric protrusions is substantially parallel to the gate line and another of the dielectric protrusions is substantially perpendicular to the gate line.
