Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising; a first substrate on which pixels are formed in regions surrounded by scanning lines which extend in the first direction and are arranged parallel to each other in the second direction and video signal lines which extend in the second direction and are arranged parallel to each other in the first direction, the pixels being constituted of two kinds of pixels consisting of first pixels having a first area and second pixels having a smaller area than the first pixels; a second substrate which faces the first substrate in an opposed manner and forms color filters and light blocking films thereon; and a liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein in the first pixel, first capacitance is generated by a first electrode having a slit, an insulation film, and a planar second electrode which is formed below the first electrode with the insulation film sandwiched therebetween, in the second pixel, second capacitance is formed by a first electrode having a slit, a branch electrode branched from the first electrode, an insulation film, and a planar second electrode which is formed below the first electrode with the insulation film sandwiched therebetween, the branch electrode is formed in a state that the branch electrode gets over the video signal line, and an amount of the second capacitance falls within a range of 90% to 110% of an amount of the first capacitance.
