Abstract
A vertical orientation liquid crystal display in which orientation control by oblique electric field is performed stably and lowering in light transmission rate of the liquid crystal display is suppressed without increasing the number of manufacturing steps significantly. In the vertical orientation liquid crystal display, a plurality of regions having different inclination orientations of liquid crystal molecule are formed by applying a voltage to each pixel electrode having an aperture or a recessed portion. The liquid crystal display comprises a switching element connected electrically with the pixel electrode, and an auxiliary electrode formed to overlap the aperture or the recessed portion in the pixel electrode wherein the auxiliary electrode is formed of the same film as that of the semiconductor layer in the switching element.
