Patent ID: 8207922

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate including a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode; a second substrate with an opposed electrode formed thereon, the opposed electrode opposing to the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate, a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in a first pixel region on the first pixel electrode being larger than a thickness of the liquid crystal layer in a second pixel region on the second pixel electrode; the first pixel region including a first partial region, and a second partial region where a threshold voltage is higher than in the first partial region, and the second pixel region including a third partial region and a fourth partial region where a threshold voltage is higher than in the third partial region; and the threshold voltage in the first partial region and the threshold voltage in the third partial region being equal to each other, and the threshold voltage in the second partial region and the threshold voltage in the fourth partial region being equal to each other, wherein a plurality of first electric field control blank patterns for controlling an electric field to be applied to liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are formed in the first pixel electrode or the opposed electrode in the second partial region and, a plurality of second electric field control blank patterns for controlling an electric field to be applied to the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are formed in the second pixel electrode or the opposed electrode in the fourth partial region, and a width or a pitch of the first electric field control blank patterns is different from a width or a pitch of the second electric field control blank patterns.
