Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes: a first substrate; a shielding electrode disposed on the first substrate and which extends in a first direction; a pixel electrode disposed on a same layer as the shielding electrode and insulated from the shielding electrode; a common electrode which overlaps the shielding electrode and the pixel electrode in a thickness direction of the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the common electrode and the pixel and shielding electrodes. The liquid crystal layer includes a first liquid crystal molecule disposed in a first region between the shielding electrode and the pixel electrode, and the first liquid crystal molecule is pre-tilted to have an azimuthal angle in a range of about zero degree to about +45 degrees or in a range of about −45 degrees to about zero degree, based on the first direction.
