Patent ID: 7095473

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel comprising: first and second substrates; and liquid crystal interposed between said first and second substrates; said first substrate comprising: an insulating substrate; first and second electrodes, formed over said insulating substrate, for a display voltage to be applied therebetween; and an insulating layer interposed between said first and second electrodes, wherein said first electrode has first and second sides adjacent each other, said second electrode has first and second sides adjacent each other, said first side of first electrode crosses over said first side of second electrode at an obtuse angle, and said second side of first electrode is parallel to said second side of second electrode, wherein in plane view, said first side of first electrode is substantially symmetrical to said first side of second electrode with respect to a straight line passing through said crossover and parallel to said second sides of first and second electrodes, and wherein said first electrode is a common electrode, said second electrode is a pixel electrode, said first electrode has a frame portion with a plurality of cutoff portions formed with ensuring one body of said common electrode, and said plurality of cutoff portions are each near crossovers between said common electrode and said pixel electrode.
