Patent ID: 8817212

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a plurality of pixels, wherein at least one of the pixels includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, wherein the first sub-pixel is charged with a first voltage and the second sub-pixel is charged with a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage; a first substrate comprising a first sub-pixel electrode of the first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel electrode of the second sub-pixel; a first alignment layer disposed on the first substrate, wherein the first alignment layer is aligned in a first direction and a second direction in each of the first and second sub-pixels; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a second alignment layer disposed on the second substrate, wherein the second alignment layer is aligned in a third direction and a fourth direction in each of the first and second sub-pixels to form a plurality of domains in each of the first and second sub-pixels; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer, wherein the first sub-pixel electrode includes a plurality of slits and the slits are formed substantially parallel to a liquid crystal alignment direction in each of the domains of the first sub-pixel electrode, wherein the pixels comprise first, second and third pixels, the at least one pixel is the third pixel and an area ratio of the second sub-pixel electrode to the first sub-pixel electrode in the third pixel is larger than an area ratio of a second sub-pixel electrode to a first sub-pixel electrode in the second pixel.
