Liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device formed of first and second substrates placed opposite to each other and a liquid crystal filled in a space between these substrates while one picture element is being divided into at least first and second sub-picture element regions, comprising:
- a first sub-picture element electrode formed in the first sub-picture element region on the first substrate and applied with a first voltage in accordance with display signals;
a second sub-picture element electrode formed in the second sub-picture element region on the first substrate and applied with a second voltage lower than the first voltage; and
a common electrode formed on the second substrate and opposed to the first and second sub-picture element electrodes while interposing a liquid crystal layer in between, wherein a liquid crystal layer thickness of the second sub-picture element region is thicker than that of the first sub-picture element region.

Abstract
One picture element is divided into first and second sub-picture element regions. A sub-picture element electrode connected directly (not via capacitive coupling) to a source electrode of a TFT is placed in the first sub-picture element region and a sub-picture element electrode capacitively coupled to a control electrode connected to a source electrode is placed in the second sub-picture element region. A transparent resin film is formed in the first sub-picture element region and this makes a liquid crystal layer thickness in the second sub-picture element region thicker than that of the first sub-picture element region.
