1. A lateral-electric-field mode liquid crystal display device comprising:
a pair of substrates; a liquid crystal layer put between the substrates; a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines, both extending in straight lines and crossing each other on one of the substrates; a plurality of pixels formed by the scanning lines and the data lines and arrayed in matrix; at least one strip-shaped pixel electrode arranged in each of the pixels and extending along one of the data lines or one of the scanning lines; a common electrode having a grid form, located in a layer closer to the liquid crystal layer than the strip-shaped pixel electrodes so as to cover the scanning lines and the data lines, and including an opening section located in each of the pixels, wherein each of the at least one strip-shaped pixel electrode and a part of the common electrode extending in parallel with an extending direction of the at least one strip-shaped pixel electrode forms therebetween an electric field to be applied to the liquid crystal layer, the electric field being in substantially parallel with a surface direction of the substrates; and a first rectangular pixel electrode arranged in each of the pixels, being greater in width than the at least one strip-shaped pixel electrode, and connected with one end of each of the at least one strip-shaped pixel electrode to from a T shape, the first rectangular pixel electrode overlapping with corner parts of the opening section of the common electrode, the corner parts being closer to the first rectangular pixel electrode than the other corner parts of the opening section. |
