    Abstract: A liquid-crystal display apparatus (10) having a plurality of pixels comprises a pair of substrates (12,14); a liquid crystal (16) having a negative dielectric anisotropy inserted between the two substrates (12,14); first and second electrodes (18,22) formed on the substrates (12,14), respectively, and first and second alignment control structures (30,44;32,46) formed linearly on the substrates (12,14) for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal. The first and second alignment control structures (30,32,44,46) are bent in a zigzag fashion and extend parallel with each other, and at least one of the alignment control structures (30,32;44,46) includes a linear portion and a narrow portion (58) having a width narrower than the width of the linear portion. In some embodiments wider portions (56) are interspersed with the narrower portions (58). The wider and narrower portions act as alignment boundaries.
