Patent ID: 7612852

Claim:
A multi-domain vertical alignment LCD comprising: a first substrate comprising a first transparent substrate, a common electrode formed at an inner surface of the first transparent substrate, and a plurality of first, second, third, and fourth protrusions arranged at an inner surface of the common electrode; a second substrate comprising a second transparent substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes formed at an inner surface of the second transparent substrate, and a plurality of first, second, third, and fourth slits defined in the pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first and second substrates, wherein a plurality of pixel regions are defined by said first and second substrates and the liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween, the pixel regions are arranged in a regular array, and each pixel region comprises: a first sub-pixel region corresponding to two of the first protrusions, one of the second protrusions, one of the first slits, and two of the second slits, and being divided into four domains by the first and second protrusions and the first and second slits, and a second sub-pixel region corresponding to two of the third protrusions, one of the fourth protrusions, one of the third slits, and two of the fourth slits, and being divided into four domains by the third and fourth protrusions and the third and fourth slits, wherein a first ratio of a first distance between the first slit and each of the two second slits to a first width of the first slit is less than a second ratio of a second distance between the third slit and each of the two fourth slits to a second width of the third slit.
