A lateral electric field type liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprises a first substrate formed with a plurality of first electrodes and at least one second electrode, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two substrates. Each first electrode comprises an array of electrode segments and every adjacent first and second electrodes have a minimum spacing smaller than a maximum spacing in between. Each second electrode is a strip electrode or also comprises an array of electrode segments. Each electrode segment is a V-shape electrode rotated with an angle or an electrode segment having at least an extruded portion and at least an intruded portion. The array of electrode segments may be a sinusoidal electrode. The first and second electrodes are oriented in parallel with or at a specific angle with respect to the data line of the lateral electric field type LCD device.

A liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprises a first substrate formed with a first electrode, a second substrate formed with a second electrode and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two substrates. The LCD device includes at least one pixel area having at least one display unit. In the display unit, the first or second electrode is formed with a plurality of elongated apertures arranged in parallel and positioned outwardly one by one from the center of the display unit along at least four different directions. The plurality of elongated apertures forms solid or dotted edges around the circumference of the first or second electrode. The solid or dotted edges of the first electrode may be aligned with or extend outwardly more or less than the solid or dotted edges of the second electrode from the center of the display unit.

The present invention provides an improved type of liquid crystal (LC) display device with wide-viewing angle and high optical transmittance. The LC display of the present invention consists of: at least one LC alignment apparatus, which makes the LC molecules within the display area forming a continuous-domain or multi-domain alignments, and hence improve its wide-viewing-angle characteristics; a LC layer formed by Nematic type LC with chiral dopants, and with optimal parameters of the optical path difference &#x394;nd and LC rotations of d/p ratio, such that LC molecules can be aligned along all radial directions to achieve optimal transmittance, and thus producing an wide-viewing-angle LC display improved transmittance without the formation of dark fringes in the display area.
