Abstract
A display device includes an electrode layer and a liquid crystal layer. The electrode layer has a first electrode and a second electrode. The second electrode is opposed to the first electrode and having a plurality of openings extending in a same extending direction. The liquid crystal layer is disposed on the electrode layer. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer in a region in proximity to one side of the opening and liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer in a region in proximity to another side of the opening, the sides of the opening being opposed to each other in a width direction of the opening, are rotated in opposite directions from each other and aligned.

A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules and arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- wherein
- the first substrate includes:
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- and
- an insulating film between the first electrode and the second electrode,
- the second electrode is arranged closer to the liquid crystal layer than the first electrode is to the liquid crystal layer,
- the second electrode includes a closed opening that has
- a longitudinal-shaped portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the closed opening and
- a pair of protrusions respectively protruding to opposite sides from the longitudinal-shaped portion, and
- in a no-voltage-applied state where no voltage is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal-shaped portion and an alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules are parallel or orthogonal to each other in a plan view.
