Abstract

A liquid crystal display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer is provided. The first substrate has active devices and pixel electrodes thereon, wherein each pixel electrode includes first strips. The second substrate has a common electrode thereon, wherein the common electrode includes second strips, and the second strips are aligned to the first strips. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules. The vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules are perpendicular to the two substrates when no electric filed is formed between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode. The vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules arrange in accordance with the distribution of an electric field when a driving voltage is applied between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode.
