PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display device having a wide angle of visibility without blurring of a moving picture by making the device fast in response and wide in the angle of visibility with a simple structure of a counter substrate electrode. SOLUTION: The liquid crystal exhibits aligned states corresponding to splay and twist deformations in normal state without an applied electric field and no polarization is generated. When an electric field is applied polarization is generated owing to an electric deflection effect accompanying the splay and twist deformations. Through this deformation the liquid crystal is subjected to a change into an aligned state with splay and twist deformation different from that in the normal state without an applied electric field. Also when another electric field is applied, another polarization is generated corresponding to the electric field intensity owing to the electric deflection effect. Based on this polarization the aligned state of the liquid crystal is subjected to change into still difference splay and twist deformations.
