Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first electrode substrate including a pixel electrode and an underlying wiring line to which a voltage that is different from a voltage of the pixel electrode is applied, and at least a part of which is opposed to the pixel electrode; a second electrode substrate including a counter-electrode which is opposed to the pixel electrode; and an OCB (Optically Compensated Bend) mode liquid crystal layer which is held between the first electrode substrate and the second electrode substrate, and which is in a first state prior to power-on and transitions to a second state, which is different from the first state, at a time of a display operation, wherein the pixel electrode includes a transmissive electrode part that passes light, which is incident from the first electrode substrate side, to the liquid crystal layer, and a reflective electrode part that reflects light which is incident from the second electrode substrate side to the liquid crystal layer, and the reflective electrode part includes a projection portion which is opposed to the counter-electrode, wherein an electrode missing part from which a reflective electrode is removed is disposed so as to include a part of the reflective electrode of an outer surface of the projection portion at an end portion of the reflective electrode part, which is opposed to the underlying wiring line, the electrode missing part is formed on an inclined surface part of the projection portion, and the electrode missing part is disposed so as to generate a transverse electric field between the underlying wiring line and the reflective electrode part.
