Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal composition layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate, a color filter that includes a black matrix and at least RGB three-color pixel portions, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode, the liquid crystal composition layer being constituted by a liquid crystal composition containing
