Patent ID: 8711315

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposing to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first alignment film disposed on the first substrate; and a second alignment film disposed on the second substrate; wherein the first substrate comprises: a plurality of scanning lines; and a plurality of data lines intercrossed with the plurality of scanning lines to define a plurality of pixel areas; wherein each pixel area comprises: a plurality of first electrodes which are electrically interconnected together; and a plurality of second electrodes which are electrically interconnected together, wherein the first electrodes and the second electrodes are disposed on different layers and mutually intersected to define a plurality of sub-pixel areas; wherein each sub-pixel area comprises two protrusion-shaped patterns facing each other and configured on two adjacent first electrodes where the first electrodes and the second electrodes are not overlapped; and wherein an angle within a range of 5-20 degrees is defined between a vertex connection direction of the two protrusion-shaped patterns facing each other and a rubbing direction of the first alignment film and the second alignment film.
