Claim Text:
1. A display device comprising: an electrode layer including: a liquid crystal layer that includes liquid crystal molecules, the liquid crystal layer is disposed on the electrode layer; and an alignment film that is disposed between the electrode layer and the liquid crystal layer, wherein, when viewed from a thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer, respective ones of the liquid crystal molecules in a first region in proximity to the first side and respective ones of the liquid crystal molecules in a second region in proximity to the second side are rotated in opposite directions from each other and aligned, wherein the alignment film has been subjected to a rubbing process in a predetermined direction parallel to the extending direction, wherein the openings adjacent to each other in the extending direction are displaced from each other in the width direction and arranged in a staggered form, and wherein regions in which the liquid crystal molecules are rotated in a same direction are aligned in the extending direction with each other.
