Liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first transparent substrate having thereon a plurality of first main electrodes and a plurality of first auxiliary electrodes each extending from one of said first main electrodes;
a second transparent substrate positioned in spaced relationship to the first transparent substrate and having thereon a plurality of second main electrodes in facing relation to said first main electrodes and said first auxiliary electrodes, so that the second main electrodes have mutually confronting portions with the first main electrodes defining main pixels therebetween, and with the first auxiliary electrodes defining auxiliary pixels therebetween;
a liquid crystal composition maintained between said first and second transparent substrates; and
driving means for applying driving signals to the first and second main electrodes;
whereby the application of driving signals to the first and second main electrodes and the presence of the liquid crystal composition between the first substrate and the second substrate in the regions of the main pixels and the auxiliary pixels allows an image display in the main pixel and auxiliary pixel regions.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display device having a first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate and a liquid crystal composition sandwiched between the first and second transparent substrates. The first transparent substrate has a plurality of first main electrodes and a plurality of first auxiliary electrodes extending from the first main electrodes. The second transparent substrate has a plurality of second main electrodes. The second main electrodes are positioned so that the second main electrodes have mutually confronting portions with the first main electrodes, defining main pixels therebetween, and with the first auxiliary electrodes defining auxiliary pixels therebetween. The presence of the liquid crystal composition between the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate in the regions of the main pixels and auxiliary pixels allow an image display in the main pixel and auxiliary pixel regions. Second auxiliary electrodes extending from the second main electrodes define further auxiliary pixels with the first main electrodes and still further auxiliary pixels with the first auxiliary electrodes.
