Display device with multi-layer pixel electrode structure

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate including a first transparent substrate, a switching element, a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode electrically connected to the switching element, and an insulating film disposed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode;
• a second substrate including a second transparent substrate, and a common electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer that is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and contains polymers and liquid crystal molecules,
• wherein the first pixel electrode is disposed between the insulating film and the liquid crystal layer, and includes a first opening and a first electrode portion,
• the second pixel electrode is disposed between the first transparent substrate and the insulating film, and includes a second electrode portion overlapping the first opening,
• the first substrate includes a third pixel electrode disposed between the insulating film and the liquid crystal layer, and a fourth pixel electrode that is disposed between the first transparent substrate and the insulating film and has the same electric potential as the third pixel electrode,
• the third pixel electrode includes a third opening and a third electrode portion,
• the fourth pixel electrode includes a fourth electrode portion overlapping the third opening, and
• a width of the third opening is different from a width of the first opening.
