Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes:
• a first substrate and a second substrate;
• a first electrode that is provided on a counter face of the first substrate, the counter face facing the second substrate, and includes a plurality of slits;
• a second electrode that is provided on a counter face of the second substrate, the counter face facing the first substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer that contains liquid crystal molecules, wherein the liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• wherein the liquid crystal molecules are given a pre-tilt,
• a high dielectric material layer is formed on the counter face of the first substrate, and
• the first electrode is provided above or below the high dielectric material layer.
