Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including a cross-shaped pixel electrode which is disposed in a pixel having a less length in a first direction than in a second direction crossing the first direction and includes a main pixel electrode extending in the second direction and a sub-pixel electrode extending in the first direction, the first substrate further including a first alignment film which covers the pixel electrode and is subjected to alignment treatment in a first alignment treatment direction; a second substrate including a common electrode which includes main common electrodes extending in the second direction on both sides of the main pixel electrode and sub-common electrodes extending in the first direction on both sides of the sub-pixel electrode, the second substrate further including a second alignment film which covers the common electrode and is subjected to alignment treatment in a second alignment treatment direction which is parallel to the first alignment treatment direction; and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules held between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a first horizontal inter-electrode distance in the first direction between the main pixel electrode and the main common electrode is less than a second horizontal inter-electrode distance in the second direction between the sub-pixel electrode and the sub-common electrode and is greater than a vertical inter-electrode distance between the main pixel electrode and the main common electrode in a third direction which is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
