Patent ID: 8531408

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising: a pixel array having a plurality of unit pixels, each being in a single-domain configuration, comprising: a first set of unit pixels, wherein each of the first set of unit pixels comprises electrodes generally parallel to one another; and a second set of unit pixels, wherein each of the second set of unit pixels comprises electrodes generally parallel to one another, but not generally parallel to the electrodes of the first set of unit pixels, wherein the electrodes of the first set of unit pixels are tilted by a first angle in a first angular direction with respect to a vertical axis of the LCD panel, and wherein the electrodes of the second set of unit pixels are tilted by a second angle in a second angular direction with respect to the vertical axis, and wherein the first and second angular directions are opposite from each other, wherein the magnitudes of the first and second angles are not substantially equal; wherein the plurality of unit pixels are arranged in a plurality of groups, wherein each group comprises three directly adjacent unit pixels coupled to a common scanning line, wherein the three unit pixels comprise a red unit pixel, a blue unit pixel, and a green unit pixel, and wherein the three unit pixels within each group comprise either two unit pixels from the first set and one unit pixel from the second set, or one unit pixel from the first set and two unit pixels from the second set.
