Patent ID: 8487847

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a pair of signal lines extending so as to intersect each other; a pixel provided for the pair of signal lines and configured of a plurality of sub pixels, each sub pixel including a liquid crystal element and a capacitive element; a driving element provided for each of the plurality of sub pixels so as to be connected to a corresponding pair of signal lines assigned to the pixel, and configured to perform display driving by applying a voltage to each liquid crystal element based on a video signal; and a capacitance line provided for each of the plurality of sub pixels, each capacitance line being connected to a first end of a capacitive element of a respective sub-pixel, wherein a second end of a respective capacitive element of a respective sub-pixel is connected to the driving element in common with the respective liquid crystal element, and each liquid crystal element includes liquid crystal molecules whose pretilt angle in a non-driving state differs between the plurality of sub pixels of the same pixel.
