Liquid crystal display device including pixel electrodes with slits and protrusion between common electrode and alignment film

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a first substrate having a pixel electrode and a first alignment film, wherein at least one of a first condition and a second condition must be satisfied, wherein the first condition is that the pixel electrode has at least one first slit, and wherein the second condition is that the first substrate has at least one first protrusion between the pixel electrode and the first alignment film;
• and
• a second substrate having a common electrode and a second alignment film, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are sandwiching a liquid crystal layer therebetween, wherein the second substrate has at least one second protrusion between the common electrode and the second alignment film, wherein a protrusion of the at least one second protrusion extends in a direction different from the direction in which a slit of the at least one first slit extends or from the direction in which a protrusion of the at least one first protrusion extends, wherein the at least one second protrusion includes a protrusion P that has an side edge portion and a remaining portion, and wherein an edge portion of the pixel electrode overlaps with the side edge portion of the protrusion P and does not overlap with the remaining portion of the protrusion P.
