Patent ID: 8614773

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; and pixel regions being formed in a matrix with regions surrounded by two of the video signal lines and two of the scanning signal lines, two TFT elements are formed in each of the pixel regions, and two pixel electrodes are formed in each of the pixel regions, the two pixel electrodes being connected to different ones of the two TFT elements in the pixel region; wherein one counter electrode is formed in each of the pixel regions, the counter electrode being formed between a layer of the pixel electrode and the first substrate; wherein each pixel electrode in the pixel regions has a number of slits, the slits in each pixel electrode extending in two directions and the slits extend in a direction which is not parallel to an extending direction of either of the video signal lines or the scanning signal lines; wherein in the two pixel electrodes in one pixel region, adjacent pixel electrode sides which face one another of each of the two pixel electrodes are parallel to each other; wherein another two adjacent TFT elements in a direction of extension of the video signal lines are connected to one of the scanning signal lines; and wherein the two TFT elements in the one pixel region are adjacent in the direction of extensions of the video signal lines, and each of the two adjacent TFT elements is connected to a different video signal line of the two video signal lines.
