Patent ID: 7800728

Claim:
A liquid crystal display having a display screen including a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel divided into a display control region and a viewing angle control region comprises: a pixel electrode formed in the display control region in which an alignment of liquid crystal molecules is controllable such that the liquid crystal molecules are inclined in an incline direction to surface of a substrate; a viewing angle control electrode formed in the viewing angle control region where the pixel electrode and the viewing angle control electrode do not overlap to separate from the pixel electrode in the each pixel; a common line for supplying a control voltage to the viewing angle control electrode; a first structure of bank or slit shape formed in the display control region; and a second structure of bank or slit shape formed in the viewing angle control region and formed in one of a vertical direction or a horizontal direction to a longitudinal direction of the common line; wherein an alignment of liquid crystal molecules in the viewing angle control is controllable such that the liquid crystal molecules are inclined in a vertical direction to the second structure by application of the control voltage through the common line common to the display control region and the viewing angle control region.
