Abstract

To provide a liquid crystal display apparatus with a wide seeing angle. The liquid crystal display apparatus of the present invention comprises a substrate with pixel electrodes, another substrate with a common electrode, and liquid crystal molecules between the substrates. Apertures are formed to divide each of the pixel electrodes into pieces for generating oblique electric fields to divide an orientation of the liquid crystal molecules. The divided pieces of the pixel electrodes are connected electrically through insulating layers at an electrode wiring portion. The control electrode for each of said pixel electrodes for controlling the orientation is placed between a boundary of the insulating layers.
