Abstract

The purpose is to provide an active-matrix liquid crystal display device using a in-plane field type having wide viewing angle characteristics with homogeneous color tones, capable of realizing characristics equal to those of a CRT. In this active-matrix liquid crystal display device of the present invention, liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer have at least two kinds of driving (reorientation) directions by electric field over the substrate surface.
