Patent ID: 7196762

Claim:
A thin film transistor (TFT) active matrix type liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of scanning signal lines formed over the first substrate; an insulating film formed over the first substrate and the plurality of scanning signal lines; a plurality of image signal lines formed over the insulating film; a plurality of pixel regions, each of the plurality of the pixel regions being surrounded by two adjacent scanning signal lines of the plurality of scanning signal lines and two adjacent image signal lines of the plurality of image signal lines; and common transparent electrode formed over the second substrate, wherein each of the plurality of pixel regions contains a first divided pixel electrode comprising a first edge line, a second divided pixel electrode comprising a second edge line and a third edge line, and a third divided pixel electrode comprising a fourth edge line, and these divided pixel electrodes are supplied with an image signal from one of the two adjacent image signal lines, and wherein the first edge line, the second edge line, the third edge line, and the fourth edge line are inclined to the plurality of scanning signal lines, and there are formed a first area of space between the first edge line and the second edge line and a second area of space between the third edge line and the fourth edge line.
