Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a plurality of displaying pixel electrodes disposed on a surface of the first substrate close to the liquid crystal layer; a plurality of viewing-angle controlling pixel electrodes disposed adjacent to the plurality of displaying pixel electrodes on the side of the first substrate close to the liquid crystal layer; a viewing angle control area controlling a viewing angle in a direction tilted from a normal line of the first substrate by the use of the plurality of viewing-angle controlling pixel electrodes; and a driving circuit supplying an image signal for displaying a plurality of patterns in the viewing angle control area to the plurality of viewing-angle controlling pixel electrodes.
