Multi-domain liquid crystal display device

A multi-domain liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal held and put between a pair of substrates;
• two or more gate bus lines formed on one of said substrates and extending horizontally;
• two or more drain bus lines extending vertically;
• a plurality of pixels each being formed corresponding to each point of intersection of said gate bus lines and said drain bus lines and being formed in a matrix form;
• and
• whereby said each pixel is provided with a switching device to select a desired pixel, with a pixel electrode and with a control electrode operating to form two or more orientation areas within one pixel by generating a skew electric field acting on said liquid crystal and wherein said control electrode is connected to one of terminals of said switching device and a coupling capacitor is connected between said pixel electrode and said control electrode and wherein a signal voltage is applied from corresponding said drain bus line through corresponding said switching device at a time of selecting said corresponding gate line and a partial voltage of said signal voltage is applied to said pixel electrode through said coupling capacitor.
