Abstract:
A liquid crystal display panel, a pixel electrode in each of the pixels includes a first linear electrode group extending parallel to an azimuth of approximately 45°, a second linear electrode group extending parallel to an azimuth of approximately 135°, a third linear electrode group extending parallel to an azimuth of approximately 225°, and a fourth linear electrode group extending parallel to an azimuth of approximately 315°. One of the first alignment film and the second alignment film includes a first alignment region provided with a pre-tilt angle at an azimuth of approximately 225°, a third alignment region provided with a pre-tilt angle at an azimuth of approximately 45°, and a region provided with substantially no pre-tilt angle or a pre-tilt angle at an azimuth approximately perpendicular to the linear electrode group on which the region is superimposed. The other of the first alignment film and the second alignment film includes a second alignment region provided with a pre-tilt angle at an azimuth of approximately 135°, a fourth alignment region provided with a pre-tilt angle at an azimuth of approximately 315°, and a region provided with substantially no pre-tilt angle or a pre-tilt angle at an azimuth approximately perpendicular to the linear electrode group on which the region is superimposed.
