According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first substrate including a pixel electrode including comb-like projections extending in a first direction and arranged in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, a common electrode including comb-like projections extending in the first direction between the comb-like projections of the pixel electrode and arranged with a predetermined spacing from the comb-like projections of the pixel electrode, a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate. A space width between the comb-like projection of the pixel electrode and the comb-like projection of the common electrode of end portion in the second direction is greater than a space width between the comb-like projection of the pixel electrode and the comb-like projection of the common electrode in a center portion.
