Liquid crystal panel

A liquid crystal panel comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate with a liquid crystal layer therebetween;
• and
• a plurality of pixels arranged in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction, each of the pixels having a pixel region and including:
• a first electrode;
• a second electrode disposed between the first electrode and the first substrate;
• and
• an alignment film having an alignment direction,
• wherein the first electrode has:
• a plurality of electrode branches each having a first end and a second end in the first direction;
• a slit between adjacent two branches;
• a first connection connecting the first ends of the electrode branches;
• a second connection connecting the second ends of the electrode branches;
• and
• a contact hole disposed adjacent to the second connection,
• wherein the first electrode has areas including:
• a main portion;
• and
• a bent portion that is adjacent to the contact hole and that includes the second end, the bent portion being bent relative to the main portion at an angle not less than 7 degrees with respect to the alignment direction,
• wherein an area ratio of the bent portion relative to an entire area of the pixel region is not more than 50%.
