Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a TFT substrate including scan lines which are extended in a first direction and are arrayed in a second direction, video signal lines, a TFT, and a pixel electrode formed in a region surrounded by the scan lines and the video signal lines;
• a counter substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, wherein
• the pixel electrode is extended in the second direction and includes a first side face on the side of the first direction,
• the pixel electrode includes a first region which connects to the TFT, a second region which is inclined at an angle η relative to the second direction, and the third region which is inclined at an angle −η relative to the second direction,
• the second region is bent in a direction opposite to the first direction in the vicinity of the first region to form a recessed part in the first side surface of the pixel electrode,
• the recessed part includes an upper side and a lower side,
• a protruded part which is extended in the first direction is included in the first region in the second direction relative to the recessed part and the lower side of the recessed part forms part of an upper side of the protruded part,
• an angle θ1 of the upper side of the protruded part relative to the second direction is not more than about 90° and at least about 45°, and
• an angle θ2 of the upper side of the recessed part relative to the second direction is not more than the angle θ1.
