A pixel, according to the invention, comprises a pixel electrode, a data line, and a switch element. The switch element comprises a gate electrode, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a semiconductor layer. The first electrode is electrically connected to the pixel electrode and comprises a first portion and a second portion. The second portion has a curved structure and comprises a first terminal connected to the first portion and a second terminal. The first terminal of the second portion is substantially aligned with the second terminal thereof. The second electrode is electrically connected to the data line. The second electrode forms or the second electrode and the data line together form a concave area where the first electrode is disposed in. The semiconductor layer is disposed between the first electrode, the second electrode, and the gate electrode.

Switch elements and pixels

Fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display (FFS LCD) devices are disclosed. A first substrate is disposed opposing a second substrate with a gap therebetween. A liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first and the second substrate. A gate line and data lines are formed on the first substrate in a matrix configuration and defining pixel areas. A counter electrode is disposed on each pixel area of the first substrate. A pixel electrode is disposed above the counter electrode with an insulating layer therebetween. The pixel electrode includes a plurality of parallel electrodes. Each electrode includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment, wherein the first segment has an included angle &#x3b8; from the horizontal direction, the second segment has an included angle &#x3c6; from the horizontal direction, and the first segment has an included angle &#x3b8; from the horizontal direction.
