Abstract:
The present invention makes it possible to reduce an afterimage phenomenon while preventing an increase in driving voltage. A liquid crystal display device ( 10 ) includes: a liquid crystal layer ( 3 ) and a pair of substrates which face each other across the liquid crystal layer ( 3 ); and an upper electrode ( 4 ), a lower electrode ( 5 ), and a first insulating layer ( 6 ) which are provided in a stack on one substrate ( 1 ) of the pair of substrates so that the upper electrode ( 4 ) and the lower electrode ( 5 ) overlap each other via the first insulating layer ( 6 ), the upper layer electrode ( 4 ) having an end surface which constitutes an opening of the upper electrode ( 4 ), the end surface being forward tapered and forming, with the one substrate ( 1 ), an average angle of inclination of not more than 30 degrees.

Claim (Index 4):
A liquid crystal display device comprising:\n a liquid crystal layer and a pair of substrates which face each other across the liquid crystal layer, and an upper electrode, a lower electrode, and a first insulating layer which are provided in a stack on one of the pair of substrates so that the upper electrode and the lower electrode overlap each other via the first insulating layer, the upper electrode having an opening, the upper electrode having an end surface which constitutes the opening, the end surface having two or more steps so as to be stepped, the two or more steps protruding toward the opening so that a portion on the end surface is closer to the opening as the portion is closer to a lower end of the end surface, the two or more steps of the upper layer electrode having respective end surfaces each of which forms, with the one of the pair of substrates, a first average angle of inclination of less than 90 degrees.
