Multi-domain liquid crystal display device

A multi-domain liquid crystal display device comprising:

• first and second substrates facing each other;
• a liquid crystal layer between said first and second substrates;
• a plurality of gate bus lines arranged in a first direction on said first substrate and a plurality of data bus lines arranged in a second direction on said first substrate to define a pixel region;
• a pixel electrode electrically charged through said data bus line in said pixel region;
• a common-auxiliary electrode surrounding said pixel electrode on a same layer whereon said gate bus line is formed;
• a gate insulator over said whole first substrate;
• a passivation layer on said gate insulator over said whole first substrate;
• a light shielding layer on said second substrate;
• a color filter layer on said light shielding layer;
• a common electrode on said color filter layer;
• and
• an alignment layer on at least one substrate between said first and second substrates;
• wherein said pixel electrode is not overlapping said common-auxiliary electrode.
