Patent ID: 8867003

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate comprising: a pixel electrode; a storage capacitive line; and an insulating layer disposed between the storage capacitive line and the pixel electrode, a top surface of the insulating layer having a first height in a first region situated above the storage capacitive line and a second height in a second region adjacent to the first region, the first height being lower than the second height; a second substrate that faces the first substrate, the second substrate comprising a common electrode; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a domain forming member disposed in the first region and the second region, wherein the domain forming member comprises: a first irregular part comprising a greater width than a width of the domain forming member; and a second irregular part comprising a width less than the width of the domain forming member, wherein the first irregular part and the second irregular part are alternately disposed in the second region, wherein the first irregular part is disposed closer to the first region than the second irregular part, wherein the insulating layer comprises: a first layer disposed on the storage capacitive line; a second layer disposed on the first layer; and a third layer disposed on the second layer, wherein, in the first region, the pixel electrode is disposed directly on the first layer or directly on the second layer, and wherein the pixel electrode is disposed on the third layer in the second region.
