Abstract
The TFT substrate () of this liquid crystal display device () includes: a TFT () which is provided for each pixel; an upper electrode () which is electrically connected to the TFT's drain electrode (); a lower electrode () which is arranged under the upper electrode; and a dielectric layer () which is arranged between the upper and lower electrodes. Its counter substrate () includes a counter electrode () which faces the upper electrode. The upper electrode has first and second regions (R, R) which have mutually different electrode structures, and a third region (R) which electrically connects the first and second regions to the drain electrode. The third region of the upper electrode includes a symmetrical connecting portion () that is a conductive film pattern, of which the shape is substantially symmetrical with respect to a virtual line (L) that splits each pixel into two adjacent regions in a row direction.
