Patent ID: 8077282

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal display panel configured by a pair of substrates sandwiching therebetween a liquid crystal material; and a pixel electrode disposed on one of the pair of substrates, wherein the pixel electrode includes a plurality of comb-like electrode sections which extend in a first direction and are aligned in a second direction which is different from the first direction, the comb-like electrode sections of the pixel electrode are varied in width in the second direction, each of the comb-like electrode sections has two sides extending in the first direction, each of the comb-like electrode sections has a plurality of protruding portions or a plurality of recessed portions in at least one of the sides, and in two of the adjacent comb-like electrode sections, the protruding portions or the recessed portions in the sides opposing each other via a slit formed between the two of the adjacent comb-like electrode sections are slightly misaligned in a position of the first direction by an amount smaller than an interval between the protruding portions or the recessed portions in one of the sides.
