A liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of pixel regions divided into a plurality of areas. The plurality of areas include a plurality of first areas and a plurality of second areas. In each of the pixel regions in each of the first areas, one of (i) the pixel electrode and (ii) the common electrode is formed closer to the liquid crystal layer than the other of (i) the pixel electrode and (ii) the common electrode. In each of the pixel regions in each of the second areas, the other of (i) the pixel electrode and (ii) the common electrode is formed closer to the liquid crystal layer than the one of (i) the pixel electrode and (ii) the common electrode. The common electrode in each of the first areas is formed in a same layer as the pixel electrode in each of the second areas.
