<p>A liquid crystal display device includes a pixel region defined by a first electrode (14) arranged at the side of a liquid crystal layer (30) of a first substrate and a second electrode (22) arranged on a second substrate (21) and opposing to9 the first electrode via a liquid crystal layer. In the pixel region, the first electrode (14) has a solid section (14b) formed by a conductive film and non-solid sections (14a, 14a') where no conductive film is formed. The solid section includes a plurality of unit solid sections (14b') each substantially surrounded by non-solid sections. The unit solid sections (14b') have a concave portion (15a) in the thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer at a substantially central portion. When voltage is applied across the first and the second electrode, the liquid crystal layer forms a liquid crystal domain having a radial inclined orientation in each of the unit solid sections (14b') by an oblique electric field generated at the edge of the non-solid section and forms the center of the radial inclined orientation in the concave portion (15a).</p> |
