Abstract:
A liquid crystal display, comprising:an array substrate with first to third pixel electrodes on a main surface thereof; a counter substrate with a common electrode that faces the first to third pixel electrodes on a main surface thereof; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the array and counter substrates; and a color filter supported by one of the array and counter substrates and comprising first to third coloring layers facing the first to third pixel electrodes, respectively, wherein the display is configured to form first and second optical regions different from each other in electric field intensity in each of first to third pixel regions between the common electrode and the first to third pixel electrodes when voltage is applied therebetween, the first and second optical regions extending in a direction that is parallel to the liquid crystal layer and alternately arranged in a direction that crosses a longitudinal direction of the first optical region in each of the first to third pixel regions, and the first pixel region being different in the longitudinal direction of the first optical region from the second and third pixel regions.
