Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel configured by a pair of substrates sandwiching therebetween a liquid crystal material;
• and
• a pixel electrode disposed on one of the pair of substrates, wherein
• the pixel electrode includes a plurality of comb-like electrode sections which extend in a first direction and are aligned in a second direction which is different from the first direction,
• the comb-like electrode sections of the pixel electrode are varied in width in the second direction,
• each of the comb-like electrode sections has two sides extending in the first direction,
• each of the comb-like electrode sections has a plurality of protruding portions and a plurality of recessed portions alternately in each of the sides,
• the protruding portions in one of the sides oppose the protruding portions in the other of the sides,
• the recessed portions in one of the sides oppose the recessed portions in the other of the sides, and
• two of the comb-like electrode sections are adjacent and have respective sides opposing each other via an aperture formed between the two adjacent comb-like electrode sections that are disposed such that the protruding portions in the respective opposing side of one of the two adjacent comb-like electrode sections oppose the recessed portions in the respective opposing side of the other of the two adjacent comb-like electrode sections.
