Abstract
In an LCD device having wall electrodes, four kinds of pixels are used that impart different alignment properties to the liquid crystal molecules. Specifically, the LC molecules are aligned such that: the LC molecules in first pixels twist clockwise and rise in a plus direction; the LC molecules in second pixels twist clockwise and rise in a minus direction; the LC molecules in third pixels twist counterclockwise and rise in the plus direction; and the LC molecules in fourth pixels twist counterclockwise and rise in the minus direction. The pixels of the same type are arranged in rows such that their long sides are adjacent to one another.
