Patent ID: 8902392

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a base substrate including a first base substrate and a second base substrate; a gate line disposed on the first base substrate, the gate line extending in a first direction; a data line insulated from the gate line, the data line extending in a second direction different from the first direction and crossing the gate line; a thin film transistor coupled to the gate line and the data line; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first base substrate and the second base substrate; a pixel electrode comprising at least a first pixel electrode portion and a second pixel electrode portion, each of the first pixel electrode portion and the second pixel electrode portion being disposed on the first base substrate and electrically coupled to the thin film transistor; and a common electrode configured to generate an electric field with the pixel electrode to adjust light transmittance, wherein the first pixel electrode portion comprises a plurality of spaced apart first electrode lines and the second pixel electrode portion comprises a plurality of spaced apart second electrode lines, and wherein an interval between adjacent first electrode lines of the first pixel electrode portion is different from an interval between adjacent second electrode lines of the second pixel electrode portion, and a voltage applied to the first pixel electrode portion is different from a voltage applied to the second pixel electrode portion.
