The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel which can reduce the transmittance and further improve the response speed. The liquid crystal display panel of the present invention is a liquid crystal display panel including the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and the second substrate in this order, wherein at least one of the first and second substrates has a linear alignment control structure for dividing a pixel into a plurality of regions, and the linear alignment control structure has a comb-tooth structure extending toward one side, and preferably wherein the liquid crystal display panel has three or more alignment control structures for dividing a pixel into a plurality of regions, the three of more alignment control structures including the linear alignment control structure, the liquid crystal display panel has a region where the linear alignment control structure, a linear alignment control first structure of the three or more alignment control structures, a linear alignment control second structure of the three or more alignment control structures extend in parallel with one another and an interval between the linear alignment control structure and the linear alignment control first structure is larger than an interval between the linear alignment control structure and the linear alignment control second structure, and the comb-tooth structure of the linear alignment control structure extends toward the linear alignment control first structure.
