Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a thin film transistor substrate, a counter substrate, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the thin film transistor substrate and the counter substrate. The thin film transistor substrate includes a first electrode and a second electrode for applying an electric field in a substrate in-plane direction, the first electrode includes a plurality of strip portions which extend in a predetermined direction. A chiral dopant which imparts rotation in a direction opposite to a rotational direction of liquid crystal induced by an electric field applied between the strip portions and the second electrode is added to the liquid crystal layer, and the first electrode further includes bent portions which are bent from the strip portions.
