Patent ID: 8194214

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including: a lower substrate including a pixel area; and a pixel electrode disposed in the pixel area, the pixel electrode including: a first slit part extending along a first direction in a first substantially zigzag shape, and a second slit part extending along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and overlapping a first bent portion of the first slit part, the second slit part including first edges disposed opposite to each other, disposed inclined at a first angle and disposed substantially symmetrical to each other with respect to the second direction; a second substrate including: an upper substrate facing the lower substrate; and a common electrode disposed on the upper substrate and including a third slit part disposed between adjacent first slit parts, overlapping the second slit part and extended in a second substantially zigzag shape; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode.
