Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device of vertical alignment mode comprising: a pair of substrates disposed to be opposite to each other; a liquid crystal layer, which includes liquid crystal including a negative dielectric anisotropy, disposed between the pair of substrates; a first electrode provided at the side of the liquid crystal layer on one substrate of the pair of substrates; an alignment control portion, provided on the one substrate, for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal, the alignment control portion having an island shape; a light-shielding film provided on the other substrate, the light-shielding film having an island shape corresponding to the alignment control portion, the light-shielding film is made of a metal film, and the light-shielding film being two-dimensionally overlapped with the alignment control portion and being disposed at a position corresponding to the alignment control portion; and a second electrode provided at the side of the liquid crystal layer on the other substrate of the pair of substrates by the material of a transparent conductive film, the second electrode electrically connected with the light-shielding film, the second electrode being larger than the light-shielding film, and provided in an area where the light-shielding film is completely included by the second electrode in plan view.
