Abstract:
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a liquid crystal panel including a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said substrates; a polarizing plate provided on the side of said liquid crystal panel from which display light is to be extracted; and a common electrode and a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed in an insulating state on a face of one of said substrates adjacent said liquid crystal layer; said polarizing plate being disposed such that a transmission axis of said polarizing plate extends obliquely with respect to outer peripheral sides of a display screen; each of said pixel electrodes having a substantially quadrilateral outer shape which has two major sides which extend substantially in parallel or substantially perpendicularly to the transmission axis of said polarizing plate, each of said pixel electrodes having a plurality of pixel electrode portions which extend in parallel to the major sides of the outer shape of the pixel electrode, wherein,
