Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate which face each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, in which a display sub-pixel and a viewing angle control sub-pixel are placed adjacently to each other for each of pixels, wherein the first substrate is provided with a pixel electrode and a common electrode driven by a lateral electric field mode in the display sub-pixel and is provided with a viewing angle control electrode in the viewing angle control sub-pixel, and in which the second substrate is provided with a transparent conductive electrode formed to overlap with both of the display sub-pixel and the viewing angle control sub-pixel on a liquid crystal layer side.
