Abstract
A liquid crystal display device of the present invention is a liquid crystal display device having a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates, and a plurality of pixels each having a display region, in that: the liquid crystal layer is optically isotropic when an selective electric field is not applied and optically aisotropic when an electric field is applied and includes a material whose refractive index changes depending on the strength of the electric field; and the plurality of pixels include first and second pixels different in the electric field strength.
