Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising a first substrate and a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules, wherein

• the first substrate includes video signal lines, a pixel electrode electrically connected to the video signal lines, a common electrode opposed to the pixel electrode and configured to generate an electric field with the pixel electrode to rotate the liquid crystal molecules, and sub-pixel areas including a first area and a second area,
• the first area is an area where the common electrode does not exist,
• the second area is an area where the common electrode exists,
• the first area includes a first main area and a second main area adjacent to each other, the first main area and the second main area being arranged in a first direction and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction,
• the sub-pixel areas each have a first side and a second side in the second direction and have a third side and a fourth side in the first direction,
• when the electric field is generated, a rotation direction of the liquid crystal molecules is different between near the fourth side of the first main area and near the third side of the second main area,
• the second area includes a first gap area extending in the second direction, between the first main area and the second main area,
• the first gap area includes a first end part and a second end part in the second direction, and a central part between the first end part and the second end part, and
• a width of the first gap area in the first direction is greater at the central part than at any one of the first end part and the second end part.
