Patent ID: 7545470

Claim:
A fringe field switching mode LCD comprising: a lower substrate having a gate bus line and a data bus line arranged to cross each other and form unit pixels and a counter electrode and a pixel electrode positioned within each unit pixel region with an insulator interposed between them; and an upper substrate provided with a color filter corresponding to each pixel region and bonded to the lower substrate with a liquid crystal layer interposed between them, wherein the pixel electrode comprises: first pixel electrodes having a plurality of slits and positioned on the insulator while being spaced from each other; and second pixel electrodes having a plurality of slits and positioned between the respective first pixel electrodes, with an insulator therebetween, with a predetermined angle relative to the first pixel electrodes, wherein an electric field intensity of the first and second pixel electrodes is separately varied so that an angle between the composite electric field and the liquid crystal molecules is in the range of 30-60°.
