Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a substrate; a liquid crystal layer having negative dielectric anisotropy; a first pixel electrode disposed on the substrate; a second pixel electrode adjacent to the first pixel electrode in a first direction, the second pixel electrode being disposed on the substrate; a third pixel electrode adjacent to the first pixel electrode in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the third pixel electrode being disposed on the substrate; a first alignment film provided in a first gap between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode to align the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer along the second direction, the first alignment film being disposed on the substrate; a second alignment film provided in a second gap between the first pixel electrode and the third pixel electrode to align the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer along the first direction, the second alignment film being disposed on the substrate; and a third alignment film provided in the first gap and the second gap while covering the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the third pixel electrode to align the liquid crystal molecules along a normal direction of the substrate, wherein a portion in which a portion of the first alignment film disposed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode is in contact with the liquid crystal and a portion of the third alignment film disposed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode is in contact with the liquid crystal, and a portion of the second alignment film disposed between the first pixel electrode and the third pixel electrode is in contact with the liquid crystal and a portion of the third alignment film disposed between the first pixel electrode and the third pixel electrode is in contact with the liquid crystal.
