Liquid crystal display apparatus

A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

• a first planar electrode;
• a first insulator layered over an upper surface of the first planar electrode;
• a planar pixel electrode layered over an upper surface of the first insulator;
• a second insulator layered over an upper surface of the pixel electrode;
• a second planar electrode that covers the pixel electrode and that is layered over an upper surface of the second insulator;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed over an upper surface of the second planar electrode,
• wherein
• the second planar electrode includes an aperture portion including a first region and a second region integrated with a first region,
• the first region is overlapped with both the first planar electrode and the pixel electrode,
• the second region is overlapped with the first planar electrode and is not overlapped with the pixel electrode, and
• a first angle between a first side of the first region and a first virtual line dividing the aperture portion into the first region and the second region is equal to or smaller than 90 degrees.
