Abstract
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device that is capable of achieving good display characteristics even if the pixel size is reduced. A liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer that is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate. The liquid crystal layer contains a liquid crystal material that has negative dielectric anisotropy. The first substrate has a first hook-like electrode and a second hook-like electrode, which are independent from each other. When the first substrate is seen in a plan view, the inner profile line of the first hook-like electrode and the inner profile line of the second hook-like electrode face each other.
