Display device with multi-domain method

A display device comprising:

• a first pixel including a sub-pixel of a first color, a sub-pixel of a second color, and a sub-pixel of a third color;
• a second pixel including a sub-pixel of the first color, a sub-pixel of the second color, and a sub-pixel of a fourth color, and
• a plurality of scan lines extending along a row direction and arrayed in a column direction,
• wherein
• the first pixel and the second pixel are arranged side-by-side in either the row direction or the column direction,
• the sub-pixel of the third color and the sub-pixel of the fourth color are arranged side-by-side in the column direction,
• each of the sub-pixels includes a pixel electrode including a branch electrode extending in a predetermined direction,
• the branch electrode included in one of two sub-pixels of the first color that are adjacent to each other in the column direction has a main portion extending in a first extension direction, and the branch electrode included in the other of the two sub-pixels of the first color has a main portion extending in a second extension direction different from the first extension direction,
• the branch electrode included in one of two sub-pixels of the second color that are adjacent to each other in the column direction has a main portion extending in the first extension direction, and the branch electrode included in the other of the two sub-pixels of the second color has a main portion extending in the second extension direction,
• the first extension direction and the second extension direction are different from the row direction and the column direction,
• each of the branch electrode included in the sub-pixel of the third color and the branch electrode included in the sub-pixel of the fourth color includes a bending portion,
• each of the branch electrode included in the sub-pixel of the first color and the branch electrode included in the sub-pixel of the second color is straight without a bending portion, and
• in the column direction, only a single sub-pixel of the first color or the second color is disposed between the scan lines adjacent to each other in the column direction, and
• wherein
• each of the pixel electrode of the sub-pixels has a slit having a first end and a second end in the column direction,
• one of the bending portions of the sub-pixels of the third color is disposed in the column direction:
• between the first end of the slit in one of two sub-pixels of the first color and the second end of the slit in the other of the two sub-pixels of the first color, the two sub-pixels of the first color being directly adjacent in the column direction;
• and
• between the first end of the slit in one of two sub-pixels of the second color and the second end of the slit in the other of the two sub-pixels of the second color, the two sub-pixels of the second color being directly adjacent in the column direction, and
• one of the bending portions of the sub-pixels of the fourth color is disposed in the column direction:
• between the first end of the slit in one of two sub-pixels of the first color and the second end of the slit in the other of the two sub-pixels of the first color, the two sub-pixels of the first color being directly adjacent in the column direction;
• and
• between the first end of the slit in one of two sub-pixels of the second color and the second end of the slit in the other of the two sub-pixels of the second color, the two sub-pixels of the second color being directly adjacent in the column direction.
