Liquid crystal display device comprising electrodes each having a plurality of slits that form an acute angle with a short side of the electrodes

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes source wiring lines, and first electrode and second electrode configured to generate a fringe electrical field. The first electrode includes slits. Each slit forms an acute angle with pixel short-hand direction defined in row direction smaller than an acute angle formed by each slit and pixel longitudinal direction defined in column direction. The slits include first slits each extending an acute angle in a clockwise direction with respect to the pixel short-hand direction, and second slits each extending an acute angle in a counterclockwise direction with respect to the pixel short-hand direction. The first electrode includes first region in which the first slits are formed, and second region in which the second slits are formed. In a plan view, each source wiring line is bent at a position corresponding to a boundary between the first region and the second region.
