Liquid Crystal Display Device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a pixel electrode;
• a common electrode generating an electric field to align liquid crystal molecules in cooperation with the pixel electrode;
• and
• an insulating layer which is formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode;
• wherein one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode includes at least one strip shaped portion,
• wherein the at least one strip shaped portion includes a first extended portion which is extended in a first direction, a second extended portion which is extended in a second direction differing from the first direction, and an inflected portion which is arranged between the first extended portion and the second extended portion;
• and
• wherein a first thickness of the insulating layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode at the first extended portion is thinner than a second thickness of the insulating layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode at the inflected portion.

A liquid crystal display device comprising a pixel electrode;

• a common electrode generating an electric field to align liquid crystal molecules in cooperation with the pixel electrode;
• and
• an insulating layer which is stacked between the pixel electrode and the common electrode;
• wherein one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode includes at least one strip shaped portion,
• wherein the at least one strip shaped portion includes a first extended portion which is extended in a first direction, a second extended portion which is extended in a second direction differing from the first direction, and an inflected portion which is arranged between the first extended portion and the second extended portion;
• wherein a first thickness of the insulating layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode at the first extended portion is thinner than a second thickness of the insulating layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode at the inflected portion;
• and
• wherein a third thickness of the insulating layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode at a first portion of the first extended portion from a vicinity of end of the at least one strip shaped portion in the first direction toward the end of the at least one strip shaped portion is thicker than the first thickness of the insulating layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode at a second portion of the first extended portion from the vicinity of end of the at least one strip shaped portion in the first direction toward a center of the at least one strip shaped portion.
