Patent ID: 8416380

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a pair of substrates, at least one of which includes a plurality of pixel electrodes including red, green and blue pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between said pair of substrates, wherein for each pixel, said liquid crystal layer is divided into a first region and a second region that have liquid crystal molecules different in directions of inclination from each other, wherein when voltage equal to or higher than a threshold is applied, liquid crystal molecules positioned in said first region and liquid crystal molecules positioned in said second region are both oriented either vertically or horizontally when said pair of substrates is viewed in a front direction, and are oriented in directions oblique to a substrate surface and symmetrically to each other when said pair of substrates is viewed in a cross-sectional direction, and wherein said liquid crystal layer has a smaller thickness in a region corresponding to the blue pixel electrode than in a region corresponding to the green pixel electrode and in a region corresponding to the red pixel electrode.
