Abstract: A multi-domain vertically aligned liquid crystal display includes an active element array substrate, an opposite substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two substrates. The active element array substrate has a plurality of pixel units. Each pixel unit has a pixel electrode and the pixel electrode includes a first alignment pattern and a second alignment pattern. The opposite substrate includes a plurality of common electrodes and each common electrode includes a third alignment pattern and a fourth alignment pattern. The liquid crystal layer proximal each pixel unit is divided into a first domain set and a second domain set, wherein the first alignment pattern and the third alignment pattern correspond to the first domain set, and the second alignment pattern and the fourth alignment pattern correspond to the second domain set.

Abstract: A multi-domain vertically aligned liquid crystal display (MVA LCD) includes an active component array substrate, an opposite substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The active component array substrate has a plurality of pixel units, and the liquid crystal layer is disposed between the active component array substrate and the opposite substrate. The liquid crystal layer proximal each pixel unit is divided into plural domain sets. Each domain set has plural domains.
