Abstract
A liquid crystal display unit has: a pair of opposing substrates; an electrode pattern formed on each of the substrates on an opposing surface side; a vertical alignment film formed on each of the substrates and covering the electrode pattern; a liquid crystal layer squeezed between the substrates; and a pair of polarizer plates formed on the substrates on an opposite side to the side of said liquid crystal layer, wherein an edge of the electrode pattern includes a zigzag pattern parallel to one of axis directions of the polarizer plates and a direction perpendicular the axis direction. Optical through can be reduced along an edge portion of a pixel of a vertical alignment LCD.
