Abstract

A liquid crystal display (LCD) device is disclosed, which obtains a high aperture ratio and a wide viewing angle. The LCD device includes first and second substrates; a plurality ofgate and data lines on the first substrate to define a plurality of pixel regions; a pixel electrode in each pixel region; a common electrode on the second substrate, the common electrode having an electric field inducing window dividing each pixel region into at least two domains; an auxiliary electrode on the first substrate, the auxiliary electrode corresponding to the periphery of the pixel electrode in one of at least two domains; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
