Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device by which it is possible to attain both high transmittance and wide viewing angle even if the pixels are small. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is provided with a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and second substrate, the first substrate having a plurality of electrode pairs that each include a first linear electrode and a second linear electrode independent of each other, the first linear electrode and second linear electrode included in each of two electrode pairs adjacent to each other being arranged to exhibit line symmetry about a reference axis that is a line passing between the electrode pairs, the linear electrode positioned farther from the reference axis being the first linear electrode, the linear electrode positioned closer to the reference axis being the second linear electrode, the second substrate having third linear electrodes formed along the first linear electrodes or the second linear electrodes.
