<p>An object of the invention is to improve a transmittance of a liquid crystal medium. A multi-domain type vertically aligned LCD device comprises: vertically aligned liquid crystal medium and substrates sandwiching it; pixel electrode 1A formed on one of the substrates; and bus line 5 located near the pixel electrode 1A and applying a signal to the pixel electrode, wherein a region of the liquid crystal medium corresponding to the pixel electrode 1A is separated by slit patterns formed in the pixel electrode 1A so that the separated regions cause control-direction for orientation of the liquid crystal medium to be differed. The slit patterns comprise straight line slit patterns 2n1, 2n2, 2m1, 2m2 oriented at a predetermined angle. Each of the straight line slit patterns has at least one bridge 3n1, 3n2, 3m1, 3m2 connecting between part areas of the pixel electrode, separated by the slit pattern. Positions and the number of bridges in the straight slit pattern is selected so as to optimize an optical transmittance of the liquid crystal medium.</p> |
