Liquid crystal display device

摘要

In one embodiment, a first substrate includes a pixel electrode having a first main electrode in a belt-like shape extending along a first cross line direction which crosses at an acute angle in a counterclockwise direction with respect to an initial alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules, and a second main electrode in the belt-like shape extending along a second cross line direction which crosses at an acute angle in a clockwise direction with respect to the initial alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules. A second substrate includes a counter electrode having a pair of third main electrodes in the belt-like shape arranged above a pair of regions sandwiching the first main electrode extending along a first cross line direction and a pair of fourth main electrodes in the belt-like shape arranged above a pair of regions sandwiching the second main electrode extending along the second cross line direction.
