Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including a first wiring line and a second wiring line which are separated from each other by a distance in a first direction and extend in a second direction crossing the first direction, a strip-shaped main pixel electrode which is disposed between the first wiring line and the second wiring line and includes a first edge linearly extending in the second direction, and a sub-pixel electrode which includes a second edge extending in a direction different from the direction of extension of the first edge, the second edge being continuous with the first edge; a second substrate including main common electrodes which are opposed to the first wiring line and the second wiring line and extend substantially parallel to the main pixel electrode; and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules held between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein an exterior angle between the first edge and the second edge is an obtuse angle, the exterior angle is an angle formed between the first edge and a tangent of the second edge having a curved shape, and the second substrate includes a sub-common electrode which is continuous with the main common electrodes, extends in the first direction, and is covered with the second alignment film, wherein the first substrate further includes a gate line extending in the first direction, and a first shield electrode which is set at a same potential as the main common electrodes, extends in the first direction, and is opposed to the gate line.
