Abstract
According to an aspect, a liquid crystal display device includes: a first substrate provided with a first electrode portion that includes a plurality of strip electrodes arranged in a first direction and that is configured to generate a transverse electric field in the first direction; a liquid crystal layer in which liquid crystal molecules are oriented in the first direction when the transverse electric field is not generated; a second substrate facing the first substrate across the liquid crystal layer; and an electrode provided at the second substrate.

A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate provided with a first electrode portion that includes a plurality of strip electrodes arranged in first direction and that is configured to generate a transverse electric field in the first direction;
- a liquid crystal layer in which liquid crystal molecules are oriented in the first direction when the transverse electric field is not generated;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate across the liquid crystal layer;
- and
- an electrode provided at the second substrate.
A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate including a first electrode and a second electrode facing the first electrode;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate;
- a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules held between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- and
- a third electrode provided at the second substrate, wherein
- the second electrode is located closer to the liquid crystal layer than the first electrode is, and has a plurality of open regions, and
- the liquid crystal layer is configured to exhibit transparency when no voltage is applied thereto and to exhibit a scattering property when a voltage is applied thereto.
