Patent ID: 8031313

Claim:
A lateral electric field type liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other at a predetermined gap; a liquid crystal layer formed in the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first liquid crystal driving electrode and a second liquid crystal driving electrode, formed in each of pixel regions, for applying liquid crystal driving electric field to the liquid crystal layer; the first liquid crystal driving electrode and the second liquid crystal driving electrode comprising a first bend and a second bend, respectively: each of the pixel regions being divided into a first sub-region and a second sub-region by the first bend and the second bend as a boundary, wherein a rotation direction of liquid crystal molecules in the first sub-region is different from a rotation direction of liquid crystal molecules in the second sub-region; and a boundary stabilization electrode formed at least one of the first bend and the second bend, wherein a shape or position of the boundary stabilization electrode is deviated from a line of symmetry of the first bend and the second bend.
