Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device of an OCB mode, comprising: a liquid crystal layer held between a first substrate and a second substrate, and a display section composed of a plurality of display pixels arrayed in a matrix, wherein the first substrate includes a plurality of pixel electrodes which are disposed in association with the plurality of display pixels, the second substrate includes a counter-electrode which is opposed to the plurality of pixel electrodes including a recess portion in a transition-nucleus formation section, the first substrate and the second substrate include a pair of alignment films which are disposed on the pixel electrodes and the counter-electrode, respectively, and are subjected to rubbing treatment to control an alignment state of liquid crystal molecules included in the liquid crystal layer, the transition-nucleus formation section, which generates an electric field for transitioning the alignment state of the liquid crystal molecules included in the liquid crystal layer from a non-display state to a display state, is provided on a terminal-end side of a rubbing direction of each of the alignment films in each of the display pixels, and includes the pixel electrode and a wiring line having a potential different from a potential of the pixel electrode and opposed, at least partly, to the pixel electrode to overlap each other via an insulation layer, and the wiring line includes a projection portion, and end sides of the pixel electrode along the recess portion are disposed on the projection portion of the wiring line via the insulation layer.
