Abstract

A display device is provided. The display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid-crystal layer, a first electrode, and an opposite electrode. The liquid-crystal layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first electrode is disposed on the first substrate. The opposite electrode is disposed on the side of the second substrate that faces the first substrate. The first electrode includes a first main portion and a plurality of first extending portions. The first extending portions are connected to the first main portion, at least one of the first extending portions includes a first side, a second side, and a curved structure. The curved structure connects the first side to the second side, and the curved structure has a first curvature radius greater than zero.
