Abstract
Provided is a liquid crystal display apparatus capable of preventing a disclination and minimizing a decrease in contrast ratio caused by leakage of light. A counter electrode formed on an array substrate has a plurality of slits within one pixel. The slit which is relatively short has bent edge portions in which edges of the slit are bent. The slits which are relatively long do not have bent edges.
Claims5
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising a pixel electrode and a counter electrode each formed on one of two substrates that hold a liquid crystal,
- wherein at least one of said pixel electrode and said counter electrode has a plurality of slits or a plurality of electrodes, and
- wherein only a relatively short slit among said plurality of slits or only a relatively short electrode among said plurality of electrodes has a bent edge portion at each end thereof in which an edge of said relatively short slit or said relatively short electrode is bent.
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising a pixel electrode and a counter electrode each formed on one of two substrates that hold a liquid crystal,
- wherein at least one of said pixel electrode and said counter electrode has a plurality of slits or a plurality of electrodes,
- wherein each of said plurality of slits or each of said plurality of electrodes has a bent edge portion in which an edge of each of said plurality of slits or each of said plurality of electrodes is bent, and
- wherein said bent edge portion disposed in a relatively long slit among said plurality of slits or a relatively long electrode among said plurality of electrodes has a bend angle smaller than a bend angle of said bent edge portion disposed in a relatively short slit among said plurality of slits or a relatively short electrode among said plurality of electrodes.
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising a pixel electrode and a counter electrode each formed on one of two substrates that hold a liquid crystal,
- wherein at least one of said pixel electrode and said counter electrode has a plurality of slits or a plurality of electrodes, and
- wherein only one relatively short slit among said plurality of slits or only one relatively short electrode among said plurality of electrodes has a bent edge portion in which an edge of said relatively short slit or said relatively short electrode is bent.
