Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a vertical alignment-type liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes source lines and pixel electrodes. A pixel includes first, second, third and fourth liquid crystal domains. The pixel electrode has slits formed therein. The first substrate further includes a shield common electrode. The shield common electrode is located between the source lines and the pixel eleotrodes. The shield common electrode includes a solid portion overlapping the source lines and one end portion and the other end portion, in a row direction, of the pixel electrode, and also includes a first cutout portion formed across regions corresponding to the first, second, third and fourth liquid crystal domains in each pixel, the first cutout portion including portions overlapping the slits.
