LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

An active matrix type liquid crystal display device of the transverse electric field system, wherein display pixels are constituted on a substrate by scanning signal lines, video signal lines, pixel electrodes and active elements in order to obtain an image having good visual field angle characteristics and a high display quality with less residual image. On the substrate is formed a liquid crystal alignment film directly or via an insulating layer, and is opposed to another color filter substrate on which a liquid crystal alignment film is formed. The liquid crystal layer is held by the two substrates. The electrodes and the active elements are so constituted that an electric field can be applied to the liquid crystal layer substantially in parallel with the substrate. The electrodes and the active elements are connected to an external control means capable of arbitrarily controlling the applied electric field depending upon the display pattern. Provision is further made of a polarizer means capable of changing the optical characteristics depending upon the state of alignment of the liquid crystal layer. The video signal wirings and the pixel electrodes are bent within a range of 1 to 30 degrees relative to the direction of liquid crystal alignment.
