Liquid crystal display device wherein each pixel has first, second, third, and, fourth alignment azimuths that are different from each other

摘要

A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a plurality of pixels, each including first and second subpixels SP-A and SP-B. The reference alignment azimuths of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer of the first subpixel SP-A include only first and second reference alignment azimuths with no third or fourth one. The reference alignment azimuths of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer of the second subpixel SP-B include only the third and fourth reference alignment azimuths with no first or second one. In one vertical scanning period, the absolute value of an effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the first subpixel SP-A is greater than that of an effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the second subpixel SP-B. In another vertical scanning period, the absolute value of an effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the second subpixel SP-B is greater than that of an effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the first subpixel SP-A.
