Patent ID: 7978271

Claim:
A multi-domain liquid crystal display, comprising: a first and a second transparent substrates facing to each other; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and the second transparent substrates; a common electrode provided on the first transparent substrate; a first metal layer formed on the second transparent substrate; a first dielectric layer formed on the second transparent substrate and covering the first metal layer; a second metal layer formed on the first dielectric layer; a second dielectric layer formed on the first dielectric layer and covering the second metal layer; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on the second dielectric layer, each of the pixel electrodes having at least one opening to divide itself into a plurality of sections; and a plurality of auxiliary electrodes formed on the second dielectric layer, wherein each of the auxiliary electrodes with a first polarity has at least one extension part extending into the opening of the pixel electrode with a second polarity that is opposite to the first polarity; wherein the second metal layer is hollowed out to form at least one opening at a position overlapping the at least one extension part of the auxiliary electrode in the opening of the pixel electrode, the first metal layer is patterned to define multiple first signal lines, the second metal layer is patterned to define multiple second signal lines, and each auxiliary electrode positioned next to one side of a first pixel electrode is connected to a second pixel electrode controlled by a preceding first signal line or a preceding second signal line.
