1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

  • gate line elongated along a first direction;

    a data line elongated along a second direction substantially perpendicular to said first direction, and intersecting with said gate line over said gate line;

    a first electrode of transparent metal material and formed over said data line, comprising;

    a first portion elongated over said data line along said first direction and perpendicularly intersecting with said data line;

    a second portion comprising a plurality of branches each elongated along said second direction starting from said first portion of said first electrode toward said gate line, wherein one of two outer most branches is longer than branches between the two outer most branches, and the other outer most branch is shorter than branches between the two outer most branches; and

    a third portion separated by a predetermined distance along said second direction with said gate line, and elongated along said first direction starting from said longest branch to a space formed between said shortest branch and its closest branch; and

    a second electrode of transparent metal material, formed on the same plane as said first electrode, said second electrode comprising;

    a first portion elongated along said first direction between said third portion of said first electrode and the end parts of said branches of said second portion of said first electrode from a portion corresponding to one end of the third portion of the first electrode to a portion corresponding to the other end of said third portion of said first electrode; and

    a second portion comprising a plurality of branches each separated from said plurality of branches each of said first electrode by a predetermined distance, in which said second portion of second electrode is elongated along said second direction starting from said first portion of said second electrode to the space between said branches of said second portion of said first electrode.
