Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes first and second substrates, a liquid crystal layer, a sealing member, and first and second spacers. The first substrate includes a first display part having a pixel electrode formed thereon. The second substrate includes a second display part having a common electrode. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first and second substrates. The seal line includes a liquid crystal inlet. The first spacer is disposed between the first and second display parts. The second spacer is disposed near the liquid crystal inlet. The second and third spacers prevent the cell gap of the liquid crystal inlet from being narrowed, so that a liquid crystal material may be injected easily completely. Thus, the liquid crystal material is completely filled to enhance the display quality.

Abstract: A tetragonal ring shape aperture is formed in the common electrode on one substrate and a cross shape aperture is formed at the position corresponding to the center of the tetragonal ring shape aperture in the pixel electrode on the other substrate. A liquid crystal layer between two electrodes are divided to four domains where the directors of the liquid crystal layer have different angles when a voltage is applied to the electrodes. The directors in adjacent domains make a right angle. The tetragonal ring shape aperture is broken at midpoint of each side of the tetragon, and the width of the aperture decreases as goes from the bent point to the edge. Wide viewing angle is obtained by four domains where the directors of the liquid crystal layer indicate different directions, disclination is removed and luminance increases.

Abstract: In a vertically aligned mode LCD, a gate line and a storage line are formed on a substrate in parallel, and a storage electrode and a cover pattern are formed as branches of the storage line. The storage electrode is overlapped with an aperture of a common electrode formed on an upper substrate. The cover pattern is located between a pixel electrode and a data line to prevent a light leakage. Accordingly, an alignment error margin of the upper substrate and the lower substrate is increased, an aperture ratio is enhanced, and repairing the high pixel defect is possible. Further, the light leakage caused by a voltage of the data line is prevented.

Abstract: A color filter substrate includes a transparent substrate, a light-blocking layer, a color filter layer, a first cell gap maintaining member and a second cell gap maintaining member. The transparent substrate has a plurality of pixel regions. Each of the pixel regions includes first and second regions. The light-blocking layer is disposed over the transparent substrate. The light-blocking layer blocks light that leaks through boundaries of the pixel regions. The color filter layer is disposed over the transparent substrate. The color filter layer has a first thickness at the first region and a second thickness that is smaller than the first thickness at the second region. The first cell gap maintaining member is disposed at the first region. The second cell gap maintaining member is disposed at the second region. Therefore, a height difference between the main column spacer and the sub column spacer may be easily adjusted.

Abstract: Saw-shaped protrusions, which are parallel to each other, are formed on the common electrode and the pixel electrode in two substrates. Protrusions in two substrates are arranged alternately and the bent portions of the saw-shaped protrusions are placed on the line transverse passing through the center of a pixel. Branches extend from the convex point of one saw-shaped protrusion toward the apex to the other saw-shaped protrusion, and another branch extend from the point where the protrusion meets the boundary of the pixel electrode toward the point where the boundary of the pixel electrode and the saw-shaped protrusion make an acute angle. A liquid crystal layer between two electrodes are divided to four regions where the directors of the liquid crystal layer have different angles when a voltage is applied to the electrodes, and then, wide viewing angle is obtained. In most regions, protrusions are formed straight and the protrusions have only obtuse angles at the bent points.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display having electrodes on a single substrate. A transparent planar electrode elongated in the transverse direction is formed on the inner surface of a substrate, and an insulating film is deposited thereon. A plurality of linear electrodes, which are elongated in the longitudinal direction and either transparent or opaque, are formed on the insulating film. Potential difference between the planar and the linear electrodes generated by applying voltages to the electrodes yields an electric field. The electric field is symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal central line of the linear electrodes and the longitudinal central line of a region between the linear electrodes, and has parabolic or semi-elliptical lines of force having a center on a boundary line between the planar and the linear electrodes.
