Abstract
A liquid crystal panel including: a first substrate with a first alignment film; a liquid crystal layer; and a second substrate with a second alignment film. The first and second alignment films are alignment treated such that pixels each include first to fourth domains with different alignment vectors in a column direction, each alignment vector being defined as lying from a first substrate side long-axis end as a start point to a second substrate side long-axis end as an end point. Each pixel electrode has first fine slits parallel to the alignment vector of the second domain in the second domain, second fine slits parallel to the alignment vector of the third domain in the third domain, and a central slit along a boundary between the second domain and the third domain at the boundary. The first fine slits and the second fine slits are connected via the central slit.
