LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G02F1/1368 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: liquid crystal display device includes a pixel electrode (30) including a peripheral portion (36), an insulated portion (32) and a plurality of branch portions (34). The plurality of branch portions (34) are formed of a plurality of first through fourth branch portions (34A-34D) respectively extending in first through fourth directions. Through these branch portions, first through fourth regions (35A-35D) in which liquid crystal molecules are aligned in different directions from each other when voltage is applied are formed. The insulated portion (32) is surrounded by the first through fourth regions (35A-35D), and is connected to the peripheral portion (36) by a connection portion (38) but not by any of the plurality of branch portions (34) or connected to the peripheral portion (36) by one of the first through fourth branch portions (34A-34D).

EFFECT: improved display properties.
