Claim:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate over the first substrate; a first polarizing plate adjacent to the first substrate, the first polarizing plate having a first polarization axis along a first direction; a second polarizing plate adjacent to the second substrate, the second polarizing plate having a second polarization axis along a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction; a transistor over the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first structure body over the first substrate, the first structure body projecting into the liquid crystal layer; a second structure body over the first substrate, the second structure body projecting into the liquid crystal layer; a first electrode layer covering a top surface and a side surface of the first structure body; a second electrode layer covering a top surface and a side surface of the second structure body; and a third electrode layer over the liquid crystal layer and adjacent to the second substrate, the third electrode layer overlapping at least part of the second electrode layer, wherein the transistor is electrically connected to the first electrode layer, wherein a first interface between the side surface of the first structure body and the first electrode layer, and a second interface between the side surface of the second structure body and the second electrode layer are substantially parallel to the first direction or the second direction, and wherein a direction of a planar-direction component of an electric field generated in the liquid crystal layer between the first electrode layer and the third electrode layer is a third direction which equally divides an angle between the first direction and the second direction.
