Abstract
A liquid crystal panel () includes a pair of substrates () and a liquid crystal layer () sandwiched between the substrates (). At least one of the substrate () is provided with combtooth electrodes (). The liquid crystal layer () is driven by a transverse electric field generated between the combtooth electrodes (). The liquid crystal layer () contains liquid crystal molecules () that align themselves perpendicularly to surfaces of the substrates when no electric field is applied. The liquid crystal panelsatisfies 0.33≦S/(S+L)≦0.64, where L is the width of each of the combtooth electrodes () and S is the electrode interval.
