Lateral electric field type liquid crystal display device having non-uniform spacings between two electrodes

A lateral electric field type liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:

• a first substrate formed with a plurality of first electrodes and at least one second electrode interleaved with said plurality of first electrodes, each of said plurality of first electrodes including at least one V-shape electrode segment in an elongated direction and every two adjacent first electrodes forming a mirrored pair;
• a first alignment layer disposed above said plurality of first electrodes and said at least one second electrode;
• a second substrate;
• a second alignment layer disposed below said second substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal (LC) layer disposed between said first alignment layer and said second alignment layer;
• wherein said at least one second electrode is a strip electrode running in said elongated direction, and every two adjacent first electrode and second electrode have a maximum spacing three times greater than a minimum spacing between said two adjacent first electrode and second electrode along said elongated direction.
