Abstract
In an active matrix liquid crystal display, common electrodes and pixel electrodes are respectively formed parallel to each other and have substantially herringbone shapes. Areas of first display regions formed between the common electrodes and the pixel electrodes and disposed at one side of the inflection points of the herringbone shapes are substantially the same as those of second display regions disposed at the other side. When electric fields substantially parallel to surface of an array substrate are applied between the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes, orientations of liquid crystal molecules in the first and second display regions move in opposite directions. Coloring of image corresponding to angle of view due to the movement of the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is compensated.
