A multi-domain in-plane-switching liquid crystal display with small color
shift, wide viewing angle and fast response. The structure of the
multi-domain in-plane switching liquid crystal displays comprises plural
chevron-shaped common electrodes and chevron-shaped pixel electrodes,
arranged alternatingly to form a multi-domain liquid crystal
distributions. In an embodiment the structure includes a polarizer and an
analyzer and the liquid crystal material is homogenously aligned. In
another embodiment the structure includes alignment films for vertically
aligning the liquid crystal material and crossed linear polarizers,
circular polarizers or a combination of linear polarizers and
compensation film. In another embodiment, the multi-domain in-plane
switching liquid crystal display provides at least two different
uniformly aligned liquid crystal domains, for a double
multi-domain-In-plane switching LC display.
