Liquid crystal display having balanced cuts in electrodes

摘要

A liquid crystal display having a pair of substrates disposed to face each other, two groups of crossing electrodes mounted on the pair of substrates, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two groups of electrodes, wherein display is controlled by voltage applied across the two groups of electrodes. Elongated cut portions are formed in edge portions of each electrode of one group. Cut portions are formed laterally and alternately at the opposite edge portions. The position of each cut portion is overlapped with the edges of adjacent electrodes of the other group. A reduction of transmittance is suppressed and the wide visual angle characteristics are retained. An increase in electrode resistance by cut portions is suppressed to prevent display quality degradation such as display irregularity.
