Patent attributes
A liquid crystal display includes: first and second substrates placed opposite each other; first and second electrodes each provided on one face of the first and second electrodes extending in first and second directions intersecting with each other; and a liquid crystal layer provided between the one face of the first substrate and the one face of the second substrate. A pixel is formed in a region where the first and second electrodes intersect, and a pixel edge of the pixel has a line segment which is oblique relative to the first direction. The first and second substrates are respectively subject to alignment treatment, and the liquid crystal layer is 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.
