<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control a brightness (or transmittance) distribution characteristic without the need for high alignment accuracy between an array substrate and a counter substrate even in the case of adopting an MVA mode. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid crystal display is provided with an array substrate including pixel electrodes 8, a counter substrate including common electrodes facing the pixel electrodes 8, and a liquid crystal layer held between these substrates. The array substrate includes a tilt control part which controls the tilt directions of the liquid crystal molecules and divides the pixel area into a plurality of domains differing in the tilt directions of the molecules by generating, with the application of voltage, the fluctuation of the electric field composed of the alternately arranged stripes of a plurality of strong electric fields and a plurality of weak electric fields in each of the various directions almost parallel to each substrate in the pixel area of the liquid crystal layer between the pixel electrodes 8 and the common electrodes. Especially, the width W1 of the strong electric field and the width W2 of the weak electric field are different from each other at least between two domains. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
