Liquid crystal display device
The present invention provides an FFS-mode liquid crystal display device which can prevent trace unevenness during white screen display. The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device including: a pair of substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, wherein one of the pair of substrates includes a scanning signal line, a data signal line, pixel electrodes with a comb-tooth portion, a plate-like common electrode, and an interlayer insulating film provided between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode, the comb-tooth portion of each of the pixel electrodes includes a straight portion and a bent portion, the bent portion is provided at least at one end of the comb-tooth portion, and the interlayer insulating film is thinner at a position overlapping with the bent portion than at a position overlapping with the straight portion.
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
a pair of substrates; and
a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates,
wherein one of the pair of substrates includes a scanning signal line, a data signal line, pixel electrodes with a comb-tooth portion, a plate-like common electrode, and an interlayer insulating film provided between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode,
the comb-tooth portion of each of the pixel electrodes includes a straight portion and a bent portion,
the bent portion is provided at least at one end of the comb-tooth portion, and
the interlayer insulating film is thinner at a position overlapping with the bent portion than at a position overlapping with the straight portion.
2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bent portion is provided at both ends of the comb-tooth portion.
3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bent portion is provided at the center of the comb-tooth portion.
4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein an angle γ formed between a major axis orientation of the bent portion and an extending orientation of the scanning signal line and an angle β formed between an orientation of alignment and the scanning signal line satisfy a relationship of (135−β)°<γ<90°.
5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pixel electrodes are arranged side by side with the scanning signal line or the data signal line therebetween, and
the interlayer insulating film is thicker at a position between the pixel electrodes arranged side by side than at a position overlapping with the comb-tooth portion of each of the pixel electrodes.
6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a voltage applying means that sets potentials of the pixel electrodes adjacent to each other have opposite polarity based on a potential of the common electrode.
