Patent ID: 8194221

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising: a first substrate comprising a common electrode; a second substrate comprising at least a pixel electrode, the pixel electrode comprising: at least a main electrode strip, having a first edge and a second edge opposite to the first edge, the main electrode strip extending along a first direction; a plurality of first sub electrode branches extending outwardly from the first edge of the main electrode strip, the first sub electrode branches extending along a second direction different from the first direction; and a plurality of second sub electrode branches extending outwardly from the second edge of the main electrode strip, the second sub electrode branches extending along the second direction, wherein each of the first and the second sub electrode branches has a branch width, positions of the second sub electrode branches are apart for a position-shift amount along the first direction from the first sub electrode branches, and the position-shift amount along the first direction is larger than 0 and smaller than the branch width of each of the first and second sub electrode branches, and wherein a length of each of the first and second sub electrode branches is substantially three to six times of the trunk width of the main electrode strip; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
