Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a first substrate that has a plurality of scanning signal lines, a plurality of video signal lines that intersects with the plurality of scanning signal lines, and a plurality of pixels each being surrounded by two adjacent scanning signal lines and two adjacent video signal lines;
• a second substrate that faces the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer that is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a first electrode comprising a first planar electrode portion and a pair of wall electrode portions facing each other which is each disposed on the first substrate, functions as one of pixel electrodes and a common electrode, is formed on each of the plurality of pixels, and takes a posture of standing on the first substrate;
• a center electrode that is disposed on the first substrate, functions as the other of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode, extends along the pair of wall electrode portions between the pair of wall electrode portions has a convexity lower in height than the pair of wall electrode portions and makes a width in a direction along which the pair of wall electrode portions faces each other gradually smaller toward the second substrate;
• and
• a first insulating film,
• wherein the first planar electrode portion and the center electrode are embedded in the first insulating film and the liquid crystal layer is on the first insulating film.
