Patent ID: 7898627

Claim:
A vertical alignment type liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: first and second substrates facing each other; and liquid crystals having a negative dielectric anisotropy inserted between the first and second substrates; the first substrate including first and second structures which extend, respectively, in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction in a pixel; the second substrate including third and fourth structures which extend, respectively, in the first and second directions in the pixel; a plurality of liquid crystal domains being formed by the first, second, third, and fourth structures in the pixel when a voltage is applied to liquid crystals, alignment directions of liquid crystals in the plurality of liquid crystal domains being different from each other, and perpendicular to the first or second direction when viewed in a direction vertical to the first and second substrates, the first structure comprising a plurality of constituent units, which are separated from each other, arranged along the first direction, and the second structure comprising a plurality of constituent units, which are separated from each other, arranged along the second direction.
