Claim:
1. A liquid-crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid-crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the first substrate includes a first electrode and a second electrode, and one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a pixel electrode provided to each pixel, the first electrode includes an electrode base portion extending in a first direction and a plurality of comb tooth portions extending in a second direction different from the first direction and protruding in a comb teeth shape from the electrode base portion with a predetermined distance interposed therebetween, adjacent comb tooth portions include adjacent comb tooth portions having a relation in which a first long side of one comb tooth portion closest to a boundary between pixels is not parallel to a first long side of the other comb tooth portion, the comb tooth portions include a comb tooth portion having a trapezoidal shape, a first slit between adjacent comb tooth portions not including the one comb tooth portion closest to the boundary between pixels has a trapezoidal shape, a second slit between the one comb tooth portion and the other comb tooth portion has a trapezoidal shape, the first slit has a first width closer to the electrode base portion and a second width distant from the electrode base portion, and the first width is less than the second width, and the second slit has a third width distant from the electrode base portion, and the third width of the second slit is greater than the second width of the first slit.
