Disclosed is an OCB mode liquid crystal panel (10a) including: an active matrix substrate which includes signal lines including scanning signal lines (16) and data signal lines (15), transistors (12) connected to the respective signal lines, and pixel electrodes (17) provided for respective pixel areas demarcated by the signal lines; a counter substrate; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the active matrix substrate and the counter substrate, the liquid crystal layer being caused to transition from a bend alignment to a splay alignment; the active matrix substrate having a surface on which a step section (7) for suppressing reverse transition from a bend alignment to a splay alignment is provided, the step section being provided so that (i) the step section, (ii) a corresponding gap between two adjacent pixel electrodes (17) and (iii) a corresponding one of the signal lines (15 and 16) overlap each other. According to the above arrangement, it is possible to suppress spreading of a splay alignment due to reverse transition (bend to splay transition) during display, in an OCB mode liquid crystal panel.
