Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including a first storage capacitance line and a second storage capacitance line which extend in a first direction, a gate line which extends in the first direction and is located between the first storage capacitance line and the second storage capacitance line, a first source line and a second source line which extend in a second direction crossing the first direction, a main pixel electrode which is located between the first source line and the second source line and has a strip shape extending in the second direction, a first sub-pixel electrode which is continuous with the main pixel electrode, is opposed to the first storage capacitance line and has a strip shape extending in the first direction, a second sub-pixel electrode which is continuous with the main pixel electrode, is spaced apart from the first sub-pixel electrode and has a strip shape extending in the first direction, and a first alignment film which is formed of a material exhibiting horizontal alignment properties and covers the main pixel electrode, the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode; a second substrate including second main common electrodes extending in the second direction on both sides of the main pixel electrode, a second sub-common electrode which is continuous with the second main common electrodes and extends in the first direction between the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode, and a second alignment film which is formed of a material exhibiting horizontal alignment properties and covers the second main common electrodes and the second sub-common electrode; and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
