Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a pair of substrates facing each other via a liquid crystal layer; a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix on an inner surface of one substrate, of facing inner surfaces of the pair of substrates; a plurality of thin film transistors which are arranged on the inner surface of the one substrate correspondingly to the plurality of pixel electrodes respectively, and to each of which a corresponding one of the plurality of pixel electrode, a gate line to which a gate signal is supplied, and a data line to which a data signal corresponding to image data is supplied are connected; a first opposing electrode provided on the inner surface of the other substrate, for generating, between itself and the plurality of pixel electrodes respectively, a vertical electric field in a direction substantially parallel with a direction of a normal line of the substrates; and a second opposing electrode provided on the inner surface of the other substrate, for generating, between itself and the plurality of pixel electrodes respectively, an oblique electric field in a direction inclined obliquely from the direction of the normal line of the substrates.
