Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising;

• a first substrate including;
• first, second and third main common electrodes arranged in a first direction and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction,
• a sub-common electrode extending in the first direction and electrically coupling the first main common electrode with the second main common electrode,
• first and second pixel electrodes located between the first main common electrode and the second main common electrode, and adjoining in the second direction sandwiching the sub-common electrode,
• third and fourth pixel electrodes located between the second main common electrode and the third main common electrode, and adjoining in the second direction, and
• a first alignment film covering the first, second and third main common electrodes, the sub-common electrode, and the first, second, third and fourth pixel electrodes,
• wherein the respective lengths of the first and second pixel electrodes are shorter than the lengths of the third and fourth pixel electrodes in the second direction, and
• a second substrate equipped with a second alignment film facing the first alignment film;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
