A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel including a plurality of pixels that are arranged in a matrix pattern, a backlight provided on a back surface side of the liquid crystal panel to emit light for illuminating the liquid crystal panel, and a viewing angle restriction film provided between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight to narrow light distribution of the light emitted from the backlight in one direction. Each pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixels that are arranged correspondingly to a plurality of display colors. An aperture in each sub-pixel is elongated in the one direction in a surface of the liquid crystal panel.

Liquid crystal display device and on-board display device

Liquid crystal molecules have a pretilt angle to the left-and-right direction in a plane perpendicular to the up-and-down direction, so that an end part of a first side as one side of a left side and a right side of the liquid crystal molecules is set closer to a backlight than an end part of a second side as the other side. Second edge parts of a black matrix adjacent to an upper side and a lower side of an opening have a straight line shape extending by inclination to mutually the same side in the left-and-right direction, so that an end part of the same side as a first side as one side of the left side and the right side of the second edge parts is positioned above the end part of the same side as the second side as the other side.
