Abstract
Provided is a switching liquid crystal panel and a display device that have novel structures that are capable of preventing luminous regions from appearing in the light transmitting parts, in the vicinities of boundaries thereof with the light shielding parts. The switching liquid crystal panel includes a pair of substrates () having a twisted nematic type liquid crystal layer () interposed therebetween, and a plurality of light shield forming electrodes () that are formed on at least one of the pair of the substrates () and that form light shielding parts () of a parallax barrier () in cooperation with a counter electrode () when a voltage is applied, the counter electrode () being is opposed to the light shield forming electrodes () with the liquid crystal layer () interposed therebetween. A rubbing direction for an alignment film () provided on the substrate () side on which the light shield forming electrodes () are formed is at an angle of 45° or less to a lengthwise direction of the light shield forming electrodes ().
