Patent ID: 8711311

Claim:
A fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display panel comprising: a plurality of scanning lines and common lines provided in parallel; a plurality of signal lines provided in a crank manner in a direction perpendicular to said scanning lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes each formed between said plurality of scanning lines and signal lines in a delta arrangement, each of said plurality of pixel electrodes including portions defining a plurality of slits inclined in different directions to each other with respect to an axis parallel to said scanning lines and positioned adjacent scanning lines; and a plurality of drain electrodes, each of the plurality of drain electrodes connected to a respective pixel electrode, and each of the plurality of drain electrodes having three sides facing a respective signal line provided in the crank manner, wherein for each pixel electrode in an odd-numbered row, a slit above a respective common electrode and nearest to a respective drain electrode is inclined in a first direction, wherein for each pixel electrode in an even-numbered row, a slit above a respective common electrode and nearest to a respective drain electrode is declined in the first direction, wherein slits included in the pixel electrodes in the odd-numbered rows between a pair of adjacent common lines and slits included in the pixel electrodes in the even-numbered rows between the pair of adjacent common lines are inclined in a same direction, and wherein the plurality of common lines are positioned at the portion where the first slits inclined in a, the first direction and the second slits inclined in a second direction are adjacent to each other in the pixel electrodes aligned in parallel with the scan lines, respectively, and wherein an area between two adjacent common lines comprises both a part of the plurality of slits included in the pixel electrodes in the odd-numbered row and a part of the plurality of slits included in the pixel electrodes in the even-numbered row adjacent the odd-numbered row.
