Patent ID: 8724068

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate comprising a gate line extending in a first direction, a source line comprising an oblique line portion extending in a third direction which crosses at an acute angle a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a pixel electrode comprising an oblique electrode portion extending in the third direction, and a first alignment film covering the pixel electrode; a second substrate comprising a counter-electrode which is opposed to the pixel electrode, and a second alignment film covering the counter-electrode; and a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a first rubbing direction of the first alignment film is a direction which crosses the third direction at an acute angle, and an angle formed between the first rubbing direction and the third direction is in a range of between 3.6° and 45°, and the pixel electrode comprises a one-end electrode portion having first edges extending in the second direction only on one end side of the oblique electrode portion, and an other-end electrode portion having second edges extending in the second direction only on the other end side of the oblique electrode portion.
