A high image quality liquid crystal display device having a high viewing angle characteristic is provided. The liquid crystal display device according to the present invention is of a vertical alignment type and includes a plurality of pixels. The liquid crystal display device includes a first polarizing plate having an absorption axis extending in a first direction; a second polarizing plate having an absorption axis extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a pixel electrode located in each of the plurality of pixels and including a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode to which different levels of voltage can be applied; a counter electrode facing the pixel electrode; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the pixel electrodes and the counter electrode. The first subpixel electrode includes a plurality of branch electrodes extending in an identical direction, which is a third direction different from a direction inclined by 45° with respect to the first direction or the second direction. |
