Patent ID: 8072569

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: an array substrate, the array substrate including a plurality of scan lines provided in parallel with one another, a plurality of signal lines provided in a direction orthogonal to the scan lines, first electrodes each provided in a space delimited by the scan lines and the signal lines, second electrodes provided corresponding to the first electrodes with an insulator therebetween, and portions defining a plurality of slits provided to each of the second electrodes in parallel with one another in a direction crossing the signal lines from a first side of the second electrode to a second side of the second electrode; a color filter substrate including a color filter layer; and a liquid crystal layer held between the array substrate and the color filter substrate; the liquid crystal display panel driving the liquid crystal layer by an electric field formed between the first electrodes and the second electrodes, each of the slits has an open end on the first side and a closed end on the second side, and is inclined at an angle relative to the scan lines of about 5 to 20 degrees, and the color filter layer having a centerline extending along the signal lines for individual pixels, the centerline being shifted toward the open end side of each slit from a centerline of each second electrode as viewed from above.
