Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a first substrate, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate, and a vertically aligned liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the liquid crystal display device has a plurality of pixels, each pixel including a first electrode formed on the first substrate, a second electrode formed on the second substrate, and the liquid crystal layer interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first electrode has at least one opening or cut formed at a predetermined position in the pixel, at least one shading conductive layer electrically connected to the first electrode is formed at least near the at least one opening or cut, in each of the plurality of pixels, a plurality of regions in which directions of tilt of liquid crystal molecules are different from one another are formed when at least a predetermined voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer, and wherein at least one shading conductive layer is surrounded on all lateral sides by the first electrode and is not located between adjacent pixels.
