(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To realize a VA liquid crystal display device having good viewing angle characteristics while maintaining good contrast, operation speed, and the like as in the past. SOLUTION: This liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal 14 having a negative dielectric anisotropy sandwiched between first and second substrates 16 and 17, and regulates a direction in which the liquid crystal is oriented when a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal. First and second domain regulating means 20A, 20B And the first and second domain restricting means are provided when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the substrate. 0A is provided so as to substantially surround the second domain regulating means 20B in the pixel region. |
