Liquid crystal display and method of fabricating the same
View Patent ↗An MVA liquid crystal display which is high in brightness and has preferable characteristics is provided. Further, the MVA liquid crystal display with a preferable display quality as well as a larger margin in fabrication and a higher yield is provided. A first substrate having a first electrode, a second substrate having a second electrode corresponding to a display pixel, the liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy sealed between the first and the second substrates, and a structure which is provided on each of the first and the second substrate to control an alignment of the liquid crystal are provided. The structure in the first substrate has a linear protrusion structure and provides at least two auxiliary protrusion structures opposing to each end portion facing to the second electrode extending from a protrusion structure provided and the width between the two auxiliary protrusions and the opposing second electrode is more than 6 μm respectively.
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
a first substrate having a first electrode;
a second substrate having a second electrode corresponding to a pixel;
a liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy sealed between the first and the second substrates; and
a structure arranged on at least the first substrate to control an alignment of the liquid crystal;
wherein the structure on the first substrate has a linear protrusion structure arranged diagonally to the pixel, at least a part of end portions of the second electrode being in the area decided by the protrusion a structure, and a structure on the second substrate and forming an obtuse angle with the protrusion structure is an overhanging portion extending beyond a borderline of the second electrode.
2. A liquid crystal display in claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary protrusion structure extending from the protrusion structure and being opposed to the overhanging portion.
3. A liquid crystal display in claim 1 , wherein the overhanging portion has a portion overlapping wirings formed on the second substrate via an insulating film.
