Patent ID: 8059241

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal disposed between a first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate; a first electrode and second electrode which overlie the first transparent substrate and which are used to drive the liquid crystal; one or more layers overlying the first electrode; and one or more layers overlying the second electrode, wherein the correlation between layers disposed between the first electrode and the liquid crystal agrees with the correlation between layers disposed between the second electrode and the liquid crystal, a first inorganic layer extending over the first electrode; a second inorganic layer overlying the second electrode; and an alignment layer extending over the second inorganic layer; wherein the second electrode includes linear portions and slit portions alternately arranged on or above the first inorganic layer, wherein portions of the second inorganic layer are disposed only on the linear portions and the alignment layer extends over the first inorganic layer, the second electrode, and the second inorganic layer.
