Patent ID: 7855772

Claim:
A fringe field switching liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate disposed parallel to each other and spaced apart a predetermined distance; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines formed at the second substrate, thereby defining a plurality of pixel regions; a common electrode arranged in each pixel region; and a pixel electrode arranged in each pixel region and insulated from the common electrode, the pixel electrode comprising a plurality of slits defined therein; wherein the slits are separate from each other, the pixel electrode defines a central longitudinal axis thereof parallel to the gate lines, and the slits maintain gradually increased oblique angles relative to the central longitudinal axis in a sequence from a slit nearest the central longitudinal axis to a slit at one of two opposite ends of the pixel electrode, and also in a sequence from a slit nearest the central longitudinal axis to a slit at the other of the two opposite ends of the pixel electrode.
