Claim:
1. A display device comprising: a first substrate including a first electrode, an insulating layer covering the first electrode, a second electrode opposed to the first electrode with the insulating layer interposed therebetween, and a first alignment film covering the second electrode; a second substrate including a second alignment film opposed to the first alignment film; and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules sealed between the first alignment film and the second alignment film, wherein an initial alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is parallel to a first direction or a direction which is orthogonal to the first direction, the second electrode comprises a connecting portion extending in a second direction which crosses the first direction, a plurality of first comblike electrodes extending from a first side of the connecting portion parallel to the first direction and arranged along the second direction, and a plurality of second comblike electrodes extending from a second side of the connecting portion parallel to the first direction and arranged along the second direction, the first comblike electrodes and the second comblike electrodes arranged alternately along the second direction, and the connecting portion includes a projection which projects in the second direction more than an outermost first comblike electrode of the first comblike electrodes while an outermost second comblike electrode of the second comblike electrodes at a side of the projection is wider in the second direction than the other second comblike electrodes.
