Description

[0001] This application claims priority based on Japanese application No. 2015-134292 filed on July 3, 2015, and the entire content of the basic application is incorporated herein. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device. Background technique [0003] In recent years, transverse electric field type liquid crystal display devices have been put into practical use. In the transverse electric field method, the transmittance is controlled by rotating the liquid crystal molecules in a plane parallel to the array substrate by an electric field formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode on the array substrate. In addition, when regions in which the rotation directions of the liquid crystal molecules are opposite to each other coexist, the alignment restriction force on the liquid crystal molecules decreases, and display unevenness may occur when stress is applied from the outside. For example, a technique is disclos...
