Abstract
Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device of active matrix type. Each pixel electrode () includes either a single regional electrode () or two or more regional electrodes () which are electrically connected to each other. The or each regional electrode is provided with: a first electrode (cross-shaped electrode) () which has a pattern dividing a first region into a plurality of second regions (R, R, R, and R); and a plurality of stripe electrodes () which are provided in each of the second regions so as to extend from the first electrode and so as to be separated from each other by a distance. A storage capacitor line (CSL) is provided facing one of pixel electrodes () in a film thickness direction to form a storage capacitor. The storage capacitor line (CSL) is provided so as not to extend facing an edge (') of a first region in the film thickness direction parallelly to the edge (′). The invention eliminates irregular orientation of liquid crystal molecules in polymer sustained alignment.
