Patent ID: 8537319

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of scan lines arranged in a first direction on a surface of the first substrate; a plurality of data lines arranged in a second direction such that the data lines cross the scan lines; a plurality of pixel regions defined by the scan lines and the data lines; a plurality of thin film transistor regions respectively positioned on cross regions of the scan lines and the data lines such that one thin film transistor region of the thin film transistor regions is positioned over at least two of the pixel regions, each of the thin film transistor regions comprising a semiconductor layer with four corners; a plurality of pixel electrodes on the pixel regions, each of the pixel electrodes having at least four corners, at least one of the at least four corners of each of the pixel electrodes having a vertex and a tilted portion including the vertex, the tilted portion being tilted away from the surface of the first substrate and overlapping with one of the four corners of the semiconductor layer of a corresponding one of the thin film transistor regions; a second substrate positioned apart from the first substrate and equipped with a common electrode, the second substrate opposing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein each of the four corners of the semiconductor layer overlaps with one of the at least four corners of one of the pixel electrodes that is different from the pixel electrodes overlapping with other ones of the four corners of the semiconductor layer.
