Abstract

A display device includes a first, second and third sub-pixel areas allowing light of a first, second and third main wavelengths transmitting therethrough, respectively. The first, second and third sub-pixel areas have first, second and third ratios of first, second and third electrode widths to first, second and third electrode slits of first, second and third interdigitated electrodes, respectively. When the first main wavelength is larger than the second main wavelength and the second main wavelength is larger than the third main wavelength, a difference between any two of the first, second and third ratios is less than 0.2. A first electrode slit of the first interdigitated electrode is smaller than the second electrode slit of the second interdigitated electrode, and the second electrode slit of the second interdigitated electrode is smaller than the third electrode slit of the third interdigitated electrode.
