Abstract
An active matrix liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal layer; two substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal layer; and electrodes respectively provided in the two substrates, the electrodes applying voltage across the liquid crystal layer. A first electrode () in the substrate including a pixel selecting element () has a striped electrode pattern () aligning liquid crystal molecules along a stripe line direction when voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer. A contact () of the first electrode () with the selecting element () is formed in a region opposed to, along a film thickness direction, a first region to which a signal liner (GLi) is allocated. This provides a liquid crystal display device in which a contact is made with the pixel electrode having the striped electrode pattern having the periodical arrangement, while alignment disorder of the liquid crystal molecules is not reflected on display.
