Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel sequentially including: a first substrate provided with a pixel electrode for each pixel; a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules; and a second substrate provided with a counter electrode, the liquid crystal display panel including pixels each including at least four alignment regions with different inclination azimuths of the liquid crystal molecules, with no voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal molecules aligning substantially vertically to the first substrate and the second substrate with inclinations along the inclination azimuths, the liquid crystal molecules having a twist angle of substantially 0° in each alignment region, at least one of the four alignment regions including a first region where the liquid crystal molecules have a relatively small average tilt angle and a second region where the liquid crystal molecules have a relatively large average tilt angle.
