Patent ID: 7999898

Claim:
An active matrix liquid crystal display device of a vertical alignment mode, comprising: a liquid crystal panel including: a plurality of pixel electrodes in array; and a bus line between each adjacent pixel electrode, wherein: each pixel electrode includes a prominence overlapping one of the bus lines which is adjacent to the pixel electrode in a top view; and the prominences of each adjacent pixel electrode facing each other across a certain bus line overlap the certain bus line at positions different from each other with respect to a direction in which the certain bus line extends; wherein said prominence of each said pixel electrode comprises a side that is aligned in the extension direction of the prominence and which is also aligned with a side of the pixel electrode from which the prominence extends, and wherein each of said pixel electrodes has only one prominence overlapping said certain bus line; and a width of each prominence is less than a quarter of a width of the pixel electrode along the certain bus line.
