LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To apply a sufficient electrical field to a liquid crystal material in a horizontal electric field type liquid crystal display device typified by an FFS (Fringe Field Switching) modem.SOLUTION: In the horizontal electric field type liquid crystal display device, the electrical field is applied to a liquid crystal material right above a common electrode or a pixel electrode by using a plurality of pairs of electrodes rather than one pair of electrodes. One pair of electrodes includes a comb-shaped common electrode and a comb-shaped pixel electrode. Another pair of electrodes includes a common electrode provided in a pixel portion and the comb-shaped pixel electrode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
