A liquid crystal display apparatus (100) includes a first substrate (10), a second substrate (20), and a liquid crystal layer (30), and has a plurality of pixels (Px). The first substrate has: a first electrode (11) and a second electrode (12) that can generate a transverse electric field in the liquid crystal layer; and an alignment film (18) that defines initial alignment axis orientations (D1, D2). The first electrode has at least one slit (11a). In each of the pixels, the alignment film has a first region (18a) corresponding to the slit in the first electrode and a second region (18b) corresponding to the portion other than the slit in the first electrode. The initial alignment axis orientation defined by the first region of the alignment film and the initial alignment axis orientation defined by the second region of the alignment film differ from each other. |
