PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a TN(twisted nematic) liquid crystal device which can use a conventional orienting film material and employs a stable orientation 4-division system. SOLUTION: Nematic liquid crystal 6 containing a chiral material having twist structure is charged between two substrates 1A (1B). One substrate 1A have rectangular pixel electrodes 2 surrounded with scanning lines and signal lines arranged in matrix. The liquid crystal is oriented along the long sides in two diagonal areas among four areas 7, 8, 9, and 10 of a pixel electrode 2 and along the short sides in the other two areas. The other substrate (1B) has the liquid crystal oriented while twisted in the areas corresponding to the four areas 7-10, and in the respective areas corresponding to the four areas 7-10, a liquid crystal molecule long axis is present extending from a corner part of the rectangular pixel electrode 2 along a diagonal. |
