Abstract
In one embodiment, a first substrate includes a gate line, a source line, a switching element electrically connected with the gate line and the source line, and a pixel electrode including a sub-pixel electrode electrically connected with the switching element in the shape of a belt, and a main pixel electrode electrically connected with the sub-pixel electrode. A first alignment film covers the pixel electrode. A second substrate includes a common electrode having a pair of main common electrodes arranged on both sides sandwiching the main pixel electrode. A second alignment film covers the common electrode. A liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules is held between the first substrate and the second substrate. Volume resistivity values of the first and second alignment films are lower than that of the liquid crystal layer.
