Patent ID: 7333168

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a liquid crystal display panel including a TFT substrate having pixels in which first electrodes and power supply line that supplies a power voltage to the first electrodes are respectively formed, and a first alignment layer on which at least one first alignment groove is aligned in a first rubbing direction, a color filter substrate having second electrodes opposite to the first electrodes, a second alignment layer on which a second alignment groove is aligned in a second rubbing direction, and red, green and blue color filters, a liquid crystal interposed between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate, and a light-leakage preventing unit that masks a non-effective display region being displaced between the pixels and a light leakage region, the light leakage region being adjacent to the non-effective display region, being displaced over a portion of the first electrodes, a reverse tilted liquid crystal being over the portion of the first electrodes, and the reverse tilted liquid crystal being caused by the first alignment groove in the first rubbing direction when the power voltage is applied to the first and second electrodes; and a backlight assembly that provides a light to the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the light leakage preventing unit is displaced over only two adjacent sides of each of the first electrodes.
