DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A display device comprising:
- a first substrate including a first electrode, an insulating layer covering the first electrode, a second electrode opposed to the first electrode with the insulating layer interposed therebetween, and a first alignment film covering the second electrode;
a second substrate including a second alignment film opposed to the first alignment film; and
a liquid crystal layer including liquid crystal molecules sealed between the first alignment film and the second alignment film, whereinthe second electrode includes a plurality of comblike electrodes extending parallel to a first direction, and a connecting portion which connects the comblike electrodes,an initial alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is parallel to the first direction or a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction,the comblike electrode includes a first part having sides opposed to each other in the second direction each form a first angle with the first direction, a second part having sides opposed to each other in the second direction each form a second angle with the first direction, and a third part having sides opposed to each other in the second direction each form a third angle with the first direction,the second part is located between the first part and the third part, andthe second angle is greater than the first angle and the third angle.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a display device includes first and second substrates, and liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes first and second electrodes. The second electrode includes comblike electrodes extending in parallel to a first direction and tapered toward tips thereof, and a connecting portion which connects the comblike electrodes. An initial alignment direction is parallel to the first direction or a direction orthogonal to the first direction. The comblike electrode includes a first part having sides each form a first angle with the first direction, and a second part having sides each form a second angle with the first direction, the second angle being greater than the first angle.
