Patent ID: 8054427

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device which is configured to have a liquid crystal layer held between a pair of substrates, comprising: a display area including a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel; a pixel electrode which is disposed in each of the red, green and blue pixels; a counter-electrode which is opposed to the pixel electrode via an interlayer insulation film; and an alignment film which is disposed in contact with the liquid crystal layer and is subjected to such rubbing treatment as to restrict alignment of liquid crystal molecules included in the liquid crystal layer, wherein the pixel electrode includes a slit plurality of slits which are formed to be inclined with respect to a direction of rubbing of the alignment film and that have respective major axes, the major axes of the plurality of slits of the pixel electrode are parallel to a single azimuth direction, and a direction of the major axis of the slit of the plurality of slits of the pixel electrode of the red pixel is different from a direction of the major axis of the slit of the plurality of slits of the pixel electrode of the blue pixel.
