According to one embodiment, a display device comprises first and second substrates and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode. The second substrate is opposed to the first substrate. The liquid crystal layer is between the first substrate and the second substrate. A frame frequency for rewriting a voltage of the pixel electrode is 80 Hz or more. A liquid crystal material contained in the liquid crystal layer has negative dielectric anisotropy. Product Δnd of a gap d between the first substrate and the second substrate and refractive anisotropy Δn of the liquid crystal material is less than 0.33 μm. The gap d is more than 2 μm and less than 3 μm.
