LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display device capable of sufficiently improving transmittance in the liquid crystal display panel and the liquid crystal display device having an improved viewing angle characteristic in accordance with the multi-domain approach and so forth. A liquid crystal display panel according to the present invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate arranged opposite each other, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between both substrates. Said first substrate and/or second substrate has a vertical orientation film on the liquid crystal layer side, which aligns liquid crystal molecules at a voltage less than a threshold voltage in a direction orthogonal to the principal surface of the substrate. Said first and/or second substrate has a common electrode. The common electrode includes a lattice-shaped first common electrode (13). Said first substrate has a pixel electrode (11). The pixel electrode (11) has a branch shape.
