Patent ID: 8760608

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: a pair of substrates opposed to each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, one of the pair of substrates including a lower electrode; an upper electrode that is formed on the surface of the lower electrode with an insulating layer interposed therebetween and that has a plurality of slit-like apertures formed for each sub pixel; and an alignment film that is formed to cover the upper electrode and the surface of the insulating layer, wherein the plurality of slit-like apertures are divided into a first slit-like aperture group including a plurality of slit-like apertures extending in a first direction, and a second slit-like aperture group including a plurality of slit-like apertures extending in a second direction different from the first direction, and wherein angles formed by a liquid crystal alignment direction in a voltage non-applied state by the first direction and by the second direction are different, and wherein the absolute value of a difference between an angle formed by the first direction and the liquid crystal alignment direction in the voltage non-applied state and an angle formed by the second direction and the liquid crystal alignment direction in the voltage non-applied state is equal to or greater than 4° and less than 6°.
