摘要： The present invention provides a multi-domain type liquid crystal display device with a vertical alignment liquid crystal layer that can get a display operation done without making the viewer sense any unnaturalness and with the decrease in optical transmittance minimized. In the liquid crystal display device of this invention, the liquid crystal layer of each pixel has liquid crystal regions in which liquid crystal molecules tilt in multiple different directions when a voltage is applied between first and second electrodes. Each pixel has an opaque portion arranged on a boundary between the liquid crystal regions. The opaque portion is provided for at least one of the substrates so that when a voltage is applied between the first and second electrodes, the liquid crystal molecules neighboring the boundary will tilt while turning one of their end portions, which is closer to the substrate with the opaque portion, away from the boundary. The opaque portion includes a first shielding layer and a second shielding layer, which overlaps with the first shielding layer with a predetermined gap left between them.

摘要： A pixel of a liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a liquid crystal layer 42, a pixel electrode 12 and a counter electrode 22 opposing each other via the liquid crystal layer, a pair of vertical alignment films 32a, 32b, and alignment sustaining layers 34a, 34b formed by a photopolymerized material on surfaces of the alignment films which are closer to the liquid crystal layer. The pixel electrode has cruciform trunk portions 12h, 12v which are positioned so as to coincide with polarization axes of the pair of polarizing plates and a plurality of branch portions 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d extending from the cruciform trunk portions in directions of approximately 45°. The counter electrode has a cruciform opening 22a which is positioned so as to oppose the cruciform trunk portions. When a predetermined voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer, four liquid crystal domains are formed. The pretilt azimuth of a liquid crystal molecule included in a region corresponding to each of the four liquid crystal domains is regulated by the alignment sustaining layers.

摘要： An active matrix liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal layer; two substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal layer; and electrodes respectively provided in the two substrates, the electrodes applying voltage across the liquid crystal layer. A first electrode (15) in the substrate including a pixel selecting element (11) has a striped electrode pattern (15c) aligning liquid crystal molecules along a stripe line direction when voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer. A contact (25h) of the first electrode (15) with the selecting element (11) is formed in a region opposed to, along a film thickness direction, a first region to which a signal liner (GLi) is allocated. This provides a liquid crystal display device in which a contact is made with the pixel electrode having the striped electrode pattern having the periodical arrangement, while alignment disorder of the liquid crystal molecules is not reflected on display.
