A liquid crystal display (LCD) device. In one embodiment, the LCD device includes a first substrate and a second substrate positioned apart from the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a plurality of pixels formed on the first substrate. Each pixel has a first pixel electrode formed on the first substrate, a second pixel electrode formed on an dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer is formed on the first pixel electrode to have a patterned structure with an opening exposing a portion of the first pixel electrode such that the second pixel electrode is connected to the first pixel electrode through the one opening; and an auxiliary common electrode formed on the dielectric layer and distantly surrounding the second pixel electrode.
