Patent ID: 8134671

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pair of substrates sandwiching liquid crystal molecules; a plurality of gate bus lines being formed above one of the pair of substrates; a plurality of data bus lines being formed above said one of the pair of substrates, each of said data bus lines extending to intersect said gate bus lines and bending in a zigzag manner; a plurality of pixels being formed in areas enclosed by said data bus lines and said gate bus lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes, each covering a substantial area of one of said pixels, and a plurality of domain regulating structures regulating orientation directions of said liquid crystal molecules and forming multiple domains in each of said pixels; wherein said pixel electrode has a first side edge and a second side edge arranged substantially parallel to said first side edge, said first side edge extends substantially parallel to a corresponding one of said data bus line closely disposed to said first side edge and bends along said corresponding data bus line, and said second side edge extends substantially parallel to a corresponding one of said data bus line closely disposed to said second side edge and bends along said corresponding data bus line, and at least one of said domain regulating structures bends along said first side edge of said pixel electrode and domains are divided in accordance with said bending of said domain regulating structure.
