Abstract

Each of picture elements (14) has a plurality of alignment regions (R1, R2, R3, and R4), in each of which liquid crystal molecules contained in a liquid crystal layer are aligned in a direction that is different from those in the others of the plurality of alignment regions. Each of a plurality of scanning signal lines (32) and a border region (R11 and R12) between corresponding adjacent ones of the plurality of alignment regions (R1, R2, R3, and R4) at least partially overlap each other when viewed from above.
