Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate including a first electrode on one surface side; a second substrate including a second electrode on one surface side and placed opposite to the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer having a pretilt angle set to 89.7° or more and less than 90°, and disposed between the first electrode of the first substrate and the second electrode of the second substrate, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode respectively form a pixel in opposing areas, wherein the first electrode includes a plurality of openings of a rectangular shape disposed with regularity in the pixel in a planar view, wherein the plurality of openings include a first opening in which its longitudinal direction faces a first direction, and a second opening in which its longitudinal direction faces a second direction that is different from the first direction, and wherein an angle formed by the respective longitudinal directions of the first opening and the second opening, and an alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules at substantially center of the liquid crystal layer is 0° or more and less than 90°.
