Patent ID: 7446840

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first scanning line; a second scanning line; a third scanning line; a first signal line; a second signal line; a first pixel electrode configured to apply a first signal to a liquid crystal, surrounded by the first scanning line, the second scanning line, the first signal line and the second signal line; a second pixel electrode configured to apply a second signal to the liquid crystal, surrounded by the second scanning line, the third scanning line, the first signal line and the second signal line; and an opposed electrode opposed to the first pixel electrode and to the second pixel electrode, wherein the first signal and the second signal have the potentials of polarities different from each other, wherein the first pixel electrode have: a first surface occupying a maximum area of the first pixel electrode; a second surface extended along the first scanning line and the second scanning line, which is closer to the opposed electrode than the first surface; a third surface whose area is smaller than that of the second surface, which is closer to the opposed electrode than the second surface; wherein the second pixel electrode have: a fourth surface occupying a maximum area of the second pixel electrode; a fifth surface extended along the second scanning line and the third scanning line, which is closer to the opposed electrode than the fourth surface; a sixth surface whose area is smaller than that of the fifth surface, which is closer to the opposed electrode than the fifth surface; wherein the third surface is located at an first end portion of the first pixel electrode, and wherein the sixth surface is located at an second end portion of the second pixel electrode.
