Patent ID: 7433005

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including a plurality of gate bus lines disposed almost in parallel with each other, a plurality of drain bus lines disposed almost in parallel with each other to intersect with the gate bus lines, a plurality of switching elements respectively provided at intersection parts of the gate bus lines and the drain bus lines, and a plurality of pixel electrodes formed and connected to the plurality of switching elements, respectively; a second substrate provided to be opposite to the first substrate and having an opposite electrode opposite to the plurality of pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a negative dielectric anisotropy, wherein each of the pixel electrodes includes a plurality of electrode units disposed through a slit and electrically connected to each other, each of the electrode units includes a solid part and a plurality of extension parts extending from the solid part toward an outer peripheral direction of the electrode unit, and a ratio of a square measure of the solid part to a square measure of an area within an outer periphery of the electrode unit is 50% or more.
