Abstract
A field effect mode liquid crystal display element displaying dot matrix pattern includes a cut-out portion formed either in the upper or lower electrode so that liquid crystal display molecules can be prevented from being inversely oriented at the edge of such a portion where these electrodes cross each other as might otherwise occur. The cutout portion prevents the liquid crystal display molecules from being inversely oriented at the edge of such a portion where these electrodes cross each other, thus significantly improving display quality. In addition, since such a cutout portion is provided by merely cutting off part of an electrode to prevent the unwanted inversion of LCD molecules during orientation, no specific signal process is required.
