In this state, the transmittance when observed from an oblique direction is higher than the transmittance when observed from the front direction.
- the reason why the transmittance in the oblique direction is increased by the halftone voltage is due to the behavior of the liquid crystal molecules 30a in the specific liquid crystal region R among the plurality of liquid crystal regions R existing in the pixel. Specifically, it is caused by the behavior of the liquid crystal molecules 30a that are inclined to the opposite side to the observer observing from an oblique direction (that is, inclined so that the end on the counter substrate 100b side is away from the observer).

- 5 is a graph showing a voltage-transmittance curve L4 in a liquid crystal region R (liquid crystal region R shown on the right side in FIG. 4) inclined so as to fall down.
- the transmittance once decreases as the voltage increases, and then increases (curve L3).
- the transmittance increases almost monotonously with the increase in voltage (curve L4). This is because the retardation value of the liquid crystal layer 30 with respect to light incident on the liquid crystal layer 30 obliquely (that is, from a direction inclined with respect to the normal direction of the display surface) is such that the liquid crystal region R in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a are tilted toward the viewer side.
- the voltage increases monotonously as the voltage increases.
- the voltage-transmittance characteristics when observed from the oblique direction shown in FIG. 5 are the sum of the voltage-transmittance characteristics of the respective liquid crystal regions R as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is considered that the transmittance when observed from an oblique direction is increased by the halftone voltage due to the liquid crystal molecules 30a falling to the opposite side from the observer.

The liquid crystal region R) is selectively shielded from light. Further, as shown in FIG. 8B, during the observation from the opposite oblique direction V3, the light-shielding portion 17 causes the liquid crystal region R in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a are inclined to the opposite side to the observer (that is, the left liquid crystal region R). ) Is selectively shielded from light.
- a part of the liquid crystal region R in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a are tilted to the opposite side from the observer does not contribute to display when observed from an oblique direction. Therefore, an increase in transmittance at the halftone voltage is suppressed, and the voltage-transmittance characteristic when observed from an oblique direction can be brought close to the voltage-transmittance characteristic when observed from the front direction. As a result, the display characteristic when observed from an oblique direction and the display characteristic when observed from the front direction can be brought close to each other, and a display without a sense of incongruity is realized.
- the light shielding unit 17 of the liquid crystal display device 100 includes a first light shielding layer 17a and a second light shielding layer 17b that overlaps the first light shielding layer 17a with a predetermined gap G interposed therebetween.
- FIG. 9 shows an example of a liquid crystal display device provided with a light shielding portion having a single layer structure.
- the liquid crystal display device 600 shown in FIG. 9 has substantially the same configuration as the liquid crystal display device 100 shown in FIG. 2 except that the light shielding portion 17 ′ is composed of a single light shielding layer 17c. .
- the light-shielding portion 17 ′ of the liquid crystal display device 600 can also selectively shield the liquid crystal region R in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a are inclined to the opposite side to the observer when observing from the oblique direction V2 (or the oblique direction V3). Therefore, it is possible to realize a display without a sense of discomfort. However, when a region having the same size is shielded, as clearly seen from a comparison between FIG. 8A and FIG. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the width Wc of the light shielding layer 17c.
- the inner widths Wa and Wb) can be reduced.
- the first light-shielding layer 17a and the second light-shielding layer 17b provided through the predetermined gap G along the normal direction of the display surface can shield different regions from each other during observation from an oblique direction (of course, partly overlaps). Because it may.) Therefore, a decrease in light transmittance in the front direction can be suppressed, and a bright display can be realized.
- the effect of suppressing the decrease in light transmittance by the multi-layered light shielding portion 17 will be described more specifically.
- FIGS. 11 (a), (b), and (c) show the transmittance distribution during frontal observation, while FIGS. 11 (a), (b), and (c) are during oblique observation (specifically, Indicates the transmittance distribution at an azimuth angle of 0 °, that is, when the viewing angle is tilted along the 3 o'clock direction.
- the pixels used in the simulation are pixels with a pixel pitch of 25.5 ⁇ m ⁇ 76.5 ⁇ m and correspond to the 2 to 3 type VGA class.
- the thickness of the trunk portion 12a (the width of the linear portion 12a1 extending in the horizontal direction and the width of the linear portion 12a2 extending in the vertical direction) is 2.5 ⁇ m in each region corresponding to the four liquid crystal domains.
- the number of the branch portions 12b is four, and the width L and the interval S of the branch portions 12b are 2.5 ⁇ m.
- the widths of the light shielding layers 17a, 17b, and 17c were all 1.5 ⁇ m.
- the four liquid crystal domains are in a substantially uniform white display state, and the boundary between these liquid crystal domains. Is clearly observed as a cross-shaped dark line parallel to the absorption axis of the polarizing plate arranged in crossed Nicols. Therefore, it can be seen that the 4D structure is clearly formed, and most of the liquid crystal molecules 30a in each liquid crystal domain are oriented in a predetermined director orientation (45 ° orientation with respect to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate). .
- liquid crystal display device 500 since no light shielding portion is provided at the boundary between the liquid crystal domains, specific liquid crystal domains are not shielded during oblique observation. As shown in FIG. The area of the region contributing to the domain display is the same.

- the multi-layered light shielding portion 17 can shield a larger area than the light shielding portion 17 ′ having a single layer configuration. Therefore, when light of a region having the same size as viewed from an oblique direction is shielded, the widths Wa and Wb of the light shielding layers 17a and 17b constituting the multi-layered light shielding portion 17 constitute a single-layer light shielding portion 17 '. It is smaller than the width Wc of the light shielding layer 17c.

Therefore, as can be seen from FIG. 12, FIG. 13B and FIG. 13D, the light transmittance hardly decreases when the width of the light shielding layer is narrow (2) and (4). On the other hand, as can be seen from FIGS. 12 and 13C, when the width of the light shielding layer is wide (3), the light transmittance is greatly reduced.
- FIG. 14 shows the gradation dependence of the normalized luminance in the front direction and 45 ° viewing angle direction (the tilt angle from the display surface normal is 45 ° and the azimuth angle is 0 °).
- the normalized luminance is normalized by setting the luminance in each direction to 1 when the white voltage (maximum gradation voltage) in each direction is applied.
- the curve indicating the normalized luminance in the front direction is different from the curve indicating the normalized luminance in the 45 ° viewing angle direction. This indicates that the ⁇ characteristic of the display is different between the front direction and the oblique direction.
