Liquid crystal display having oblique pixel edge line segment

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate placed opposite each other;
• a first electrode which is provided on one face of the first substrate and which extends in a first direction;
• a second electrode which is provided on one face of the second substrate and which extends in a second direction that intersects with the first direction;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer provided between the one face of the first substrate and the one face of the second substrate,
• wherein a pixel is formed in a region where the first electrode and the second electrode intersect,
• wherein a pixel edge of the pixel has a line segment which is oblique relative to the first direction,
• wherein at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate is subject to alignment treatment,
• wherein the liquid crystal layer has a substantial vertical alignment having a twisted structure, and an alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules at a substantial center in a layer thickness direction and the oblique line segment are not orthogonal,
• wherein the oblique line segment is configured by connecting a first straight line and a second straight line extending in different directions,
• wherein the first straight line and the second straight line are of a relation where, when a length of the first straight line and a length of the second straight line projected in the first direction are respectively Xa and Xb, Xa is three times or more than Xb, and
• wherein the first straight line forms an oblique angle of from greater than 0° to 15° or below relative to the second direction.
