Abstract

A liquid crystal display device and method of fabricating the device where the device can control a viewing angle in all directions without forming a white pixel. The liquid crystal display device includes a display control region that is controlled such that liquid crystal molecules are inclined and a viewing-angle control region that is controlled such that liquid crystal molecules are aligned in a horizontal or vertical direction, where a control voltage is supplied through a viewing angle control line independent of a common line for the display control region.

Claims (9)

1. A FFS mode liquid crystal display device comprising:

a display control region that is controlled such that liquid crystal molecules are inclined;

a viewing-angle control region that is controlled such that liquid crystal molecules are aligned in a horizontal or vertical direction, wherein a control voltage is supplied through a viewing angle control line that is independent of a common line for the display control region;

a common electrodes on the display control region and the viewing-angle control region, the common electrodes having a plate shape; and

a pixel electrode for the display control region including first pixel holes having a chevron shape “<” and a pixel electrode for the viewing-angle control region including second pixel holes having a linear shape,

wherein the pixel electrode for the display control region and the pixel electrode for the viewing-angle control region are independently applied voltage.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein free of color layer is on a substrate opposite to the viewing-angle control region.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal molecules comprise n-type liquid crystal molecules.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pixel holes are arranged at a predetermined interval in a horizontal or vertical direction, and the second pixel holes are arranged at a predetermined interval in a direction different from that of the first pixel holes.
