Patent ID: 8102493

Claim:
A multi-domain vertically aligned liquid crystal display device, comprising: an active component array substrate having a plurality of pixel units; an opposite substrate having a common electrode layer and first alignment structures disposed on said common electrode layer; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between said active component array substrate and said opposite substrate, wherein said liquid crystal layer proximal each said pixel unit is divided into a first domain set and a second domain set, and each of said first domain set and said second domain set includes plural domains, and each pixel unit includes: a thin film transistor; a pixel electrode electrically connected to said thin film transistor; and second alignment structures disposed on said pixel electrode, wherein each first alignment structure has a minimum first distance and a minimum second distance respectively from said two closest second alignment structures on two opposite sides of the first alignment structure, said minimum first distance and said minimum second distance being different, the minimum first distance differs from the minimum second distance by 1 μm or more.
