ABSTRACT:
A vertical alignment type liquid crystal display apparatus including first and second substrates facing each other and liquid crystals inserted therebetween. The first substrate includes first and second structures which extend, respectively, in first and second directions, and the second substrate includes third and fourth structures which extend, respectively, in the first and second directions. A plurality of liquid crystal domains are formed by the first, second, third, and fourth structures in the pixel when a voltage is applied to liquid crystals. Alignment directions of liquid crystals in the plurality of liquid crystal domains are different from each other, and perpendicular to the first or second direction when viewed in a direction vertical to the first and second substrates. The first structure includes a plurality of separate constituent units, arranged along the first direction, and the second structure includes a plurality of separate constituent units, arranged along the second direction.
