Claim:
1. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate disposed facing each other; a first electrode provided to the first substrate; a second electrode provided to the second substrate, and a vertical alignment type liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; wherein: the first electrode comprises a plurality of first openings and the second electrode comprises a plurality of second openings; the plurality of first openings comprises a plurality of third openings each having a first area that extends in a direction 45 degrees clockwise in relation to a first direction, and a second area that extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, in a planar view; and a plurality of fourth openings each having a first area that extends in a direction 45 degrees counterclockwise in relation to the first direction, and a second area that extends in the second direction, in the planar view; the plurality of second openings comprises a plurality of fifth openings each having a first area that extends in a direction 45 degrees counterclockwise in relation to a first direction, and a second area that extends in the second direction, in a planar view; and a plurality of sixth openings each having a first area that extends in a direction 45 degrees clockwise in relation to the first direction, and a second area that extends in the second direction, in the planar view; the plurality of third openings and the plurality of fifth openings are alternately disposed at a predetermined interval along the first direction so that the second areas of one third opening and one fifth opening adjacent to each other overlap, in the planar view; the plurality of fourth openings and the plurality of sixth openings are alternately disposed at a predetermined interval along the first direction so that the second areas of one fourth opening and one sixth opening adjacent to each other overlap, in the planar view; a column along the first direction formed by the plurality of third openings and the plurality of fifth openings, and a column along the first direction formed by the plurality of fourth openings and the plurality of sixth openings are disposed adjacent to each other in the second direction.
