Liquid crystal display device and substrate for liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate facing said first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer sealed between said first substrate and said second substrate;
• a pixel electrode formed on said first substrate, wherein said pixel electrode includes a micro-cutout pattern comprising a plurality of micro-cutouts extending in four different directions with respect to an extension direction of a rough structural pattern;
• a first electrode extending in a first direction;
• a second electrode extending in a second direction, wherein said second direction is approximately perpendicular to the first direction;
• and
• a contact hole that electrically connects said pixel electrode and said first electrode, and
• wherein a portion of said micro-cutout pattern of said pixel electrode overlaps said first electrode.

A substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a pixel electrode formed on said substrate, wherein said pixel electrode includes a micro-cutout pattern defined by a plurality of micro-cutouts extending in four different directions with respect to an extension direction of a rough structural pattern;
• a first electrode extending in a first direction;
• a second electrode extending in a second direction, wherein said second direction is approximately perpendicular to the first direction;
• and
• a contact hole that electrically connects said pixel electrode and said first electrode, and
• wherein a portion of the rough structural pattern of said pixel electrode overlaps said first electrode.
