Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device of a normally black type, in which a first substrate and a second substrate are disposed so as to oppose each other; liquid crystal having a negative anisotropy of dielectric constant is sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate; the first substrate has light-shielding lines and a plurality of pixel electrodes which are formed for respective pixels; the second substrate has an opposing electrode; a rubbingless vertical orientation film is formed on each of a liquid crystal side of the pixel electrodes and a liquid crystal side of the opposing electrode; an orientation control window extends in an elongated shape in a plurality of different directions within a single pixel for dividing the orientation direction of the liquid crystal into a plurality of directions within the single pixel; and the light-shielding line is disposed so as to overlap with only a portion of the orientation control window, and the light-shielding line is continuous in the region overlapping with the orientation control window and does not terminate in the overlapping region.
