The liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a liquid crystal display panel 2 containing a liquid crystal having an alignment state which is so controlled that: a transmission intensity at an oblique viewing angle is greater than a frontal transmission intensity assuming a frontal transmittance of 1 for a white display and a transmittance of 1 at the oblique viewing angle for a white display; and a first region and a second region coexist in one or multiple picture element regions constituting a pixel, excess brightness occurring at the oblique viewing angle in the first region, no excess brightness occurring at the oblique viewing angle in the second region. The liquid crystal display device also includes a panel, 3, for use in viewing angle property control setting all or part of the second region of the liquid crystal display panel 2 to either a light-blocking state or a light-transmitting state as viewed from an oblique direction. Thus, the structure, although simple, can switch the liquid crystal display panel between narrow viewing angle properties and wide viewing angle properties.
