A liquid crystal display device having characteristics such as a short response time, a large voltage holding ratio, a low threshold voltage, a large contrast ratio, and a long lifetime is provided. A liquid crystal display element according to the present invention includes a liquid crystal layer between a first substrate and a second substrate, a first electrode portion on the first substrate, and the first electrode portion includes at least one first electrode portion. The basic electrode unit 41 includes a first basic electrode unit 42 and a second basic electrode unit 43. The first basic electrode unit extends in the first direction X along the substrate surface. A pair of first conductive portions 42A spaced apart in a second direction Y orthogonal to the first direction X is provided, and the second basic electrode portion extends in the first direction X from the vicinity of the opening OP of the first basic electrode portion. The liquid crystal composition provided with the third conductive portion 43A and included in the liquid crystal layer contains at least one compound selected from the compounds represented by formula (1) as the first component.
