A liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates, i.e. a TFT substrate and an opposed substrate. The pair of substrates sandwich a liquid crystal layer. The TFT substrate has a picture element electrode, and the opposed substrate has an opposed electrode. The picture element electrode has picture element slits. The opposed electrode has opposed ribs within a display region. A height of the opposed ribs is identical to a thickness of the liquid crystal layer. When a voltage is applied to the picture element electrode and to the opposed electrode, a plurality of domains are formed within the display region. The plurality of domains are such that liquid crystal molecules are aligned in different directions from domain to domain. Thus realized is such domain division that (1) enhances alignment regulation of liquid crystal, so that the liquid crystal will not be influenced even if a display panel is pressed, (2) attains an excellent viewing field characteristic, and (3) attains an excellent response.
