A liquid crystal display device 100 includes a liquid crystal layer 1 including polymer; a front substrate 3 and a rear substrate 2 containing the liquid crystal layer 1 therebetween; a pair of electrodes 4 and 8 applying a voltage on the liquid crystal layer 1; polarization plates 16 and 15 placed respectively on the front side of the front substrate 3 and the rear side of the rear substrate 2; and first and second alignment films 13 and 12 formed respectively between the liquid crystal layer 1 and the front substrate 3 and between the liquid crystal layer 1 and the rear substrate 2. An alignment treatment is applied to at least one of the alignment films 12 and 13; the liquid crystal layer 1 includes in each of the pixels a plurality of liquid crystal regions 11 and a wall 10 containing polymer located between adjoining liquid crystal regions 11; and the plurality of liquid crystal regions 11 includes two liquid crystal regions in which in-plane orientations of liquid crystal molecules in the two liquid crystal regions at the interface on the side of the alignment film on which the alignment treatment has been applied are both parallel to the direction defined by the alignment treatment, and tile directions of the liquid crystal molecules in the two liquid crystal regions at the interface are mutually different.
