Abstract
Examples of liquid crystal display devices are described herein. In an example, a liquid crystal display device comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer therebetween. The second substrate comprises a plurality of source lines, a plurality of gate lines crossing the plurality of source lines, and a plurality of pixels in a matrix arrangement. A pixel from the plurality of pixels being defined by two adjacent source lines and two adjacent gate lines. A pixel electrode formed in the pixel comprises a plurality of slits. The plurality of slits includes a first set of slit segments extending in a first direction, and a second set of slit segments extending in a second direction. Further, a first light blocking member extends along a common boundary area of the first set of slit segments and the second set of slit segments.
