Abstract

A display device includes a substrate; and a red pixel electrode, a green pixel electrode, and a blue pixel electrode disposed on the substrate. Each of the red pixel electrode, the green pixel electrode, and the blue pixel electrode includes a transverse stem portion, a longitudinal stem portion, and a fine branch portion. An angle between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode, an angle between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode, and an angle between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode are different from each other.

Claims (38)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate; and

a red pixel electrode, a green pixel electrode, and a blue pixel electrode disposed on the substrate,

wherein each of the red pixel electrode, the green pixel electrode, and the blue pixel electrode includes a transverse stem portion, a longitudinal stem portion, and a fine branch portion, the transverse stem portion and the longitudinal stem portion dividing each of the red pixel electrode, the green pixel electrode and the blue pixel electrode into a plurality of sub-regions,

an angle between the transverse stem portion and lateral edges of the fine branch portion is constant throughout an entirety of each of the plurality of sub-regions of the red pixel electrode, the green pixel electrode, and the blue pixel electrode, respectively,

entire portions of the transverse stem portion, the longitudinal stem portion and the fine branch portion have straight shapes in each of the red pixel electrode, the green pixel electrode and the blue pixel electrode, respectively,

all angles between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode are different from all angles between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode, and

all angles between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode are different from all angles between the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode,

wherein an angle between a first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode is smaller than an angle between a first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode, and

an angle between a first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is larger than an angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising

an absorption polarizer disposed under the substrate.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode is about 45 degrees,

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode is from about 41.83 degrees to about 45 degrees, and

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is from about 45 degrees to about 49.75 degrees.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is about 45 degrees,

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode is from about 44.27 degrees to about 45 degrees, and

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode is from about 43.77 degrees to about 45 degrees.

5. The display device of claim 2 , wherein

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is from about 45 degrees to about 51.5 degrees.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising

a reflective polarizer disposed under the substrate.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode is about 45 degrees,

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode is from about 43.96 degrees to about 45 degrees, and

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is from about 45 degrees to about 46.56 degrees.

8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is about 45 degrees,

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode is from about 40.45 degrees to about 45 degrees, and

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode is from about 37.41 degrees to about 45 degrees.

9. The display device of claim 6 , wherein

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the red pixel electrode is about 45 degrees,

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the green pixel electrode is from about 45 degrees to about 47.96 degrees, and

the angle between the first portion of the transverse stem portion and the fine branch portion of the blue pixel electrode is from about 45 degrees to about 49.75 degrees or less.
