Abstract
The object is to make alignment of liquid crystals more uniform by reducing alignment disorder when a voltage is applied and to improve the display quality. A liquid crystal display element comprises a first electrode (), a second electrode () opposed to the first electrode, and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode and having alignment of liquid crystal in the voltage-off state being vertical alignment, wherein either one of the first electrode and the second electrode is provided with a plurality of regularly disposed L-shaped slits, and the L-shaped slits () are formed so that at least within an area where the first electrode and the second electrode overlap each other, the electrode provided with the slits, is divided into a plurality of rectangular sub-pixel electrodes each having connection portions at three corners for connection to adjacent sub-pixel electrodes.
