PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the liquid crystal molecules in a liquid crystal layer of a liquid crystal display device so as to have various alignment directions in a simple production process and to increase the viewing angle of the liquid crystal display device. SOLUTION: The device consists of an upper glass substrate 1, a lower glass substrate 2, a liquid crystal layer 5 held between the upper glass substrate 1 and the lower glass substrate 2, a plurality of pixel electrodes 3 arranged in a matrix on the upper glass substrate 1 side of the liquid crystal layer 5, a common electrode 4 on the lower glass substrate side 2 of the liquid crystal layer 5, one or plurality of protruding parts 6 made of a dielectric material and formed on each pixel electrode 3, a controlling electrode 8 formed on each protruding part 6 and electrically insulated from the pixel electrode 3, and an alignment layer 7 covering the common electrode 4 and covering the face formed by each pixel electrode 3, protruding part 6 and controlling electrode 8. |
