Patent ID: 8154677

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate which sandwich a liquid crystal material; a number of video signal lines, a number of scanning signal lines, a number of TFT elements and pixel electrodes connected to the TFT elements being formed on the first substrate; pixel regions being formed in a matrix with each of the pixel regions being surrounded by two of the video signal lines and two of the scanning signal lines; two of the TFT elements being formed in each of the pixel regions; two pixel electrodes being formed in each of the pixel regions, one of the two pixel electrodes being connected to one of the two TFT elements and another of the two pixel electrodes being connected to another of the two TFT elements in the pixel region; one counter electrode being formed in each of the pixel regions, the counter electrode being formed between a layer of the two pixel electrodes and the first substrate; wherein each of the two pixel electrodes in each of the pixel regions has a number of slits, the slits in each of the two pixel electrodes extending in two directions; wherein the slits of each of the two pixel electrodes extend in a direction which is not parallel to either of an extension direction of the video signal lines and an extension direction of the scanning signal lines; and wherein a portion of the slits of the one of the two pixel electrodes of the pixel region which are adjacent one edge of the one of the two pixel electrodes and a portion of the slits of the another of the two pixel electrodes which are adjacent one edge of the another of the two pixel electrodes which is adjacent to and opposite the one edge of the one of the two pixel electrodes extend in the same direction and in parallel to one another.
