DISPLAY UNIT

摘要

A liquid crystal display unit comprising, formed in a pixel area formed on one substrate, a switching element (TFT), pixel electrodes (PX) to which image signals are supplied via the switching element (TFT), and counter electrodes (CT) for producing a lateral electric field between them and the pixel electrodes, wherein the pixel area consists of one area that includes a counter electrode (CT) consisting of a translucent material and formed on the lower layer of an insulation film (GI) at one surface thereof except for a very small portion on the periphery thereof, and pixel electrodes (PX) consisting of a group of electrodes arranged in one direction on the upper layer of the insulation film (GI) while being overlaid on the counter electrode (CT), and the other area that includes counter electrodes (CT) consisting of a group of electrodes arranged in one direction on the lower layer of the insulation film (GI), and pixel electrodes (PX) consisting of a group of electrodes arranged in one direction on the upper layer of the insulation film (GI) while being overlaid on the counter electrodes (CT). The liquid crystal display unit is excellent in wide-field- angle characteristics and fast responsiveness.
