Abstract
To stabilize the alignment direction in the boundary between two regions in a structure in which a pixel includes two regions where the initial alignment directions of the liquid crystal are orthogonal to each other. A pixel is divided into a first region, a second region, and a boundary region between those regions. The initial alignment directions of the liquid crystal in the first region and the second region are orthogonal to each other, the extending directions of the pixel electrode in the first region and the second region are also orthogonal to each other. The extending direction of the pixel electrode in the first region meets the pixel electrode of the second region when extended. The initial alignment direction of the liquid crystal in the boundary region is a direction rotated in a same rotating direction from the initial alignment direction of the first region at an acute angle.
