Abstract
A liquid crystal display device including first and second substrates, a liquid crystal layer, a plurality of gate bus lines extending in a first direction, a plurality of drain bus lines extending in a second direction, at least one auxiliary capacitance bus line extending in the first direction, a first sub picture element electrode, a second sub picture element electrode, and first and second auxiliary capacitance lower electrodes extending from the auxiliary capacitance bus line in the second direction, such that a combination of the first and second auxiliary capacitance lower electrodes and a portion of the auxiliary capacitance bus line within a picture element region form a generally cross-shaped structure. Also, a portion of the first sub picture element electrode overlaps a portion of the first auxiliary capacitance lower electrode, a portion of the second auxiliary capacitance lower electrode, and a portion of the auxiliary capacitance bus line.
