Abstract: A dedicated control signal electrode is provided between pixel electrodes, and a strong electric field is generated between the control signal electrode and the common electrode to quickly and securely make an initial transition from liquid crystal molecules in a splay alignment state to the same in a bend alignment state. In addition, generating a strong electric field between the control signal electrode and the common electrode even during operation for displaying an image makes liquid crystal molecules stably stay in a bend alignment state. In this case the scan signal electrode, the video signal electrode and the common electrode, which are required for displaying an image, are not used to make a transition from liquid crystal molecules in a splay alignment state to the same in a bend alignment state and make the same stay in a bend alignment state.

Abstract: An in-plane-switching liquid crystal display unit has a two-dimensional matrix of pixel regions each including a first auxiliary region and a second auxiliary region. When no electric field is applied, liquid crystal molecules in the first and second auxiliary regions are directed in respective orientations that lie at 90null with respect to each other. When a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are rotated in the same direction while maintaining their orientations in the first and second auxiliary regions at 90null with respect to each other. Alternatively, the liquid crystal molecules in the first and second auxiliary regions are directed in the same orientation when no electric field is applied, and when a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are rotated opposite directions while maintaining their orientations in symmetric relationship.

Abstract: A thin film transistor is designed in such a manner that a semiconductor region includes source and drain electrodes in a channel width direction and further, a planar source-side overlap area constructed by a gate electrode, the source electrode and the semiconductor region and a planar drain-side overlap area constructed by the gate electrode, the drain electrode and the semiconductor region exist. An optimal overlap length of one of the source-side and drain-side overlap areas in a channel length direction is determined, for instance, to be 4 nullm, for a light incident on a channel portion of the thin film transistor to have a light intensity below or equal to 0.2% of a light intensity of the backlight incident toward the thin film transistor, thereby reducing a light-induced OFF leak current sufficiently and further improving flickering and display uniformity.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus has a pair of substrates opposing to each other and a liquid crystals sandwiched between the pair of substrates. One side of substrate is provided with gate lines and signal lines which approximately cross each other. TFTs are provided close to intersection portion of the gate line and the signal line. Pixel electrodes and common electrodes are provided at each pixel enclosed by the gate line and the signal line. Each of pixel electrodes and common electrodes has bent points more than one and is alternately formed in parallel with each other. Both the pixel electrode and the common electrode are made up of bent sections and projected sections projecting toward concave sections of opposite electrodes from convex side top sections of the bent sections. In the liquid crystal display apparatus, improvement of visual angle characteristics and response characteristics is planned in such a way that the projected section allows electric field close to the bent section to be stabilized, and allows electric field strength to be enhanced.
