<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid crystal display device whose visual field angle is wide and which can be produced in a high yield. SOLUTION: Liquid crystal 20 is sealed between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 16, which are oppositely arranged. First electrodes 12 are formed at prescribed positions of a prescribed area on the first substrate 10 and second electrodes 18 are formed at positions shifted with respect to the first electrodes 12 of the prescribed area on the substrate 16. When a voltage is impressed between the first electrode 12 and the second electrodes 18, the prescribed area is divided into at least two different first and second areas where voltage impressed states with respect to the liquid crystal 20 are different and the oriented direction of the liquid crystal of the first area and the oriented direction of the liquid crystal of the second area are made mutually different. As a result, a wide visual field angle equivalent to or wider than that to be obtained by an intra-plane switching method (IPS) can be obtained. Since the first electrodes 12 and the second electrodes 18 are formed on different substrates 10, 16, it is not needed to consider the short circuit between adjacent electrodes 12, 18.</p> |
