Abstract
There is provided an MVA type liquid crystal display device having high brightness and excellent display quality. The liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates disposed to be opposite to each other, a liquid crystal sealed between the pair of substrates, plural pixel areas each including a pixel electrodeformed on one of the substrates and a pixel electrodeseparated from the pixel electrode, a TFTdisposed in each of the pixel areas and including a source electrodeelectrically connected to the pixel electrode, a linear projectionformed on the other substrate and to regulate alignment of the liquid crystal, and a control capacitance section to capacity couple the source electrodeand the pixel electrodeand including a control capacitance electrodewhich is electrically connected to the source electrode, is opposite to at least part of the pixel electrodethrough an insulating film, and at least part of which is disposed to overlap with the linear projectionwhen viewed perpendicularly to a substrate surface and extends along the linear projection
