<p>A liquid crystal display device comprises: a vertically oriented liquid crystal layer; a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other through the liquid crystal layer; a first electrode provided on the liquid crystal layer side of the first substrate and a second electrode provided on the liquid crystal layer side of the second substrate; and a first oriented film provided between the first electrode and the liquid crystal layer and a second oriented film provided between the second electrode and the liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal display device has a plurality of pixel regions arranged in a matrix. Each of the pixel regions has a first liquid crystal domain in which a tilt direction of a liquid crystal molecule in the vicinity of the center in the layer plane of and in the thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer when a voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode is a predetermined first direction. The first liquid crystal domain is located close to at least a part of an edge of the first electrode, the part including a first edge portion in which an azimuthal direction perpendicular to the part and pointing toward the inside of the first electrode forms an angle of over 90° with respect to the first direction. The second substrate has a first rib provided in a region corresponding to the first edge portion.</p>
