Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device has electrodes on barrier ribs that are adaptive for widening a viewing angle and improving an aperture ratio of the LCD device. In the device, barrier ribs are formed from an insulating material at the boundary portion of the pixel cells. First and second electrodes are provided at opposite surfaces of the barrier ribs to apply an electric field to the liquid crystal. Accordingly, the viewing angle can be widened and the electrode area can be minimized, thereby improving the aperture ratio and the light transmissivity.
