Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display apparatus, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate placed opposite each other, a first electrode which is provided on one surface of the first substrate and which extends in a first direction, a second electrode which is provided on one surface of the second substrate and which extends in a second direction that intersects with the first direction; and a mono-domain vertical alignment type liquid crystal layer with a pretilt angle of less than 90°, provided between said one surface of the first substrate and said one surface of the second substrate, wherein a pixel is configured in a region where the first electrode and the second electrode intersect, wherein an orientation process is performed in a direction perpendicular to the second direction on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein an electrode edge of at least one side of the second electrode is of a shape that includes lines or curves that are obliquely crossed relative to the first direction and periodically bend back, wherein pixel edges of the pixel are demarcated, including the lines or curves that are obliquely crossed, and wherein all change points, each of which is defined as a point where a line or curve among the lines or curves of the electrode edge of the second electrode intersects with another line or curve which is among the lines or curves of the electrode edge of the second electrode and which has a different angle, are disposed so that they are superimposed in planar view with the first electrode.
