Patent ID: 7876407

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a plurality of pixels; and vertical alignment liquid crystal which is sealed between a first substrate having a pixel electrode and a second substrate having a common electrode, wherein the pixel electrode has a V-shaped edge; each pixel region comprises an alignment controller which divides an alignment direction of the liquid crystal within the pixel region on at least one of the sides of the first substrate and the second substrate; the alignment controller comprises a first alignment controller which is formed to be bent in a V-shape parallel to the V-shaped edge of the pixel electrode; and a second alignment controller and a third alignment controller which are formed on a line connecting a vertex of the V-shaped edge of the pixel electrode and a vertex of the V-shape of the first alignment controller; the second alignment controller and the third alignment controller are formed on opposite sides with the vertex of the V-shape of the first alignment controller interposed therebetween; the liquid crystal on the side where the second alignment controller is located with respect to the first alignment controller is controlled by the first alignment controller and the second alignment controller; the liquid crystal on the side where the third alignment controller is located with respect to the first alignment controller is controlled by the first alignment controller and the third alignment controller; each of the pixels includes a reflective region and a transmissive region, the reflective region including a gap adjusting section; and the first alignment controller, bent in the V-shape, is located at a boundary between the reflective region and the transmissive region and is formed of an inclined end of the gap adjusting section.
