Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal panel; an illuminating device; and a light control member that is disposed on a light emission side of the liquid crystal panel. The light control member diffuses light that is emitted from the liquid crystal panel in an anisotropic manner in a first azimuth angle direction viewed from a normal direction of the liquid crystal panel to control an emission direction of the light. A pixel includes a first region in which a director of liquid crystal molecules is in a first direction, and a second region in which the director of the liquid crystal molecules is in a second orientation opposite to the first orientation in the first direction. A second azimuth angle direction in which light-diffusibility of the light control member is relatively strong, and the first direction approximately match each other.
