Abstract:
The present invention provides a horizontal alignment mode liquid crystal display device capable of achieving high resolution, high speed response, and high transmittance. The liquid crystal display device of present invention sequentially includes a first substrate, a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules, and a second substrate. The first substrate includes a first electrode, a second electrode provided closer to the liquid crystal layer than the first electrode is, and an insulating film provided between the first electrode and the second electrode. An opening portion ( 15 ) is formed in the second electrode in each of a plurality of units of display ( 50 ) arrayed in a matrix pattern. The liquid crystal molecules are aligned parallel to the first substrate in a voltage non-applied state in which no voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode. The average slope of the contour of the opening portion in each of the units of display ( 50 ) is not zero, and the sign of the average slope differs from the signs of the average slopes of contours of opening portions in adjacent units of display.

Claim (Index 5):
The liquid crystal display device according to  claim 4 ,\n wherein the first substrate further includes a source signal line and a gate signal line, and an initial alignment azimuth direction of the liquid crystal molecules is orthogonal to a reference line of the opening portion which is the longer of a first straight line and a second straight line, the first straight line being longest among lines dividing the opening portion in the direction parallel to the source signal line or the gate signal line, the second straight line being longest among lines dividing the opening portion in the direction orthogonal to the first straight line.
