Patent ID: 7978295

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device of a vertically aligned system, comprising: a liquid crystal panel having a pixel electrode constituted of a combination of at least two subpixel electrodes connected to each other or one another via a connecting electrode narrower than either one of the subpixel electrodes, and liquid crystal molecules tilting, when voltage is applied, axially symmetrically to an orientational central axis perpendicular to a surface of the subpixel electrodes, the pixel electrode having a first and a second slit formed by the connecting electrode dividing space between the subpixel electrodes, the first slit differing from the second slit in length, wherein: three or more subpixel electrodes are disposed in a single line; and the connecting electrode is disposed in such a manner that center lines of the connecting electrodes shift, from center lines of the subpixel electrodes, in opposite directions among adjacent subpixel electrodes.
