Light from a light source 10 is linearly polarized by a polarizer 11. Then it propagates via a half-mirror 12 almost parallel to the normal to a reflective liquid-crystal panel 13 and falls on the reflective liquid-crystal panel 13. The reflected light reflected by the reflective liquid-crystal panel 13 is received by a detector 15 via the half-mirror 12 and an analyzer 14. In this state, the reflective liquid-crystal panel 13 is rotated about an axis almost parallel to the normal to the reflective liquid-crystal panel 13 and an angle (extinction angle) at which the output signal of detector 15 reaches minimum is measured. Then, the gap of the reflective liquid-crystal panel 13 is detected based on the measured extinction angle. It is also possible to measure the output signals of detector 15 by arranging the analyzer 14 in a state in which the transmission axis thereof is almost parallel to the polarization direction of the incident light and a state in which it is almost perpendicular thereto and to detect the gap of the reflective liquid-crystal panel 13 based on the measured signals.

An apparatus for detecting a pretilt angle is comprised of a light source 1, a polarizer 2, a liquid-crystal cell 3, a quarter-wave plate 4, an analyzer 5, a photodetector 6, and a processing device. The processing device receives from the photodetector transmitted light intensities of light that is transmitted through the liquid-crystal cell 3 at a plurality of light incident angles. The processing device calculates Stokes parameters corresponding to the plurality of light incident angles based upon the transmitted light intensity corresponding to the plurality of light incident angles. Furthermore, an apparent retardation corresponding to the plurality of light incident angles is determined based upon the Stokes parameters corresponding to the plurality of light incident angles. The pretilt angle of the liquid-crystal cell 3 is determined based upon the determined apparent retardation corresponding to the plurality of light incident angles.

The liquid crystal display device according to this invention includes a control structure provided at each of or one of a liquid crystal side of a first substrate and a liquid crystal side of a second substrate to control a tilt direction of a liquid crystal upon application of a voltage to a liquid crystal layer, a first domain where a liquid crystal tilts in one direction upon application of a voltage to a liquid crystal layer, and a second domain where a liquid crystal tilts in a direction different from the tilt direction of the liquid crystal in the first domain by substantially 180°. Herein, an angle formed by the tilt direction of the liquid crystal in the first domain and a horizontal direction of a screen in the liquid crystal display device falls within a range between 22° and 39° or a range between 51° and 68°.

A detection column wiring includes a set of a first metal wiring having a zigzag pattern and a second metal wiring having a structure axisymmetric with the first metal wiring about a column direction. The first metal wiring includes first sloped portions obliquely sloped by an inclination angle of 45° with respect to the column direction, and first parallel portions parallel with the column direction and continuous with the first sloped portions; the first sloped portions and the first parallel portions being repeatedly placed in a zigzag shape along the column direction. Each detection row wiring has the same structure. A sloped portion of the first sloped portions of the first metal wiring is always orthogonally and spatially intersected, at its middle point, with a sloped portion of the second sloped portions of the third metal wiring at its middle point. Other portions have the same orthogonal relationship.

Each detection column wiring is constituted by a set of a first metal wiring having a zigzag pattern and a second metal wiring having a structure axisymmetric with the first metal wiring about a column direction as an axis, wherein the first metal wiring is constituted by first sloped portions which are obliquely sloped by an inclination angle of 45 degrees with respect to the column direction, and first parallel portions which are parallel with the column direction and are continuous with the first sloped portions, such that the first sloped portions and the first parallel portions are repeatedly placed in a zigzag shape along the column direction. Each detection row wiring also has the same structure. A sloped portion out of the first sloped portions of the first metal wiring is always orthogonally and spatially intersected, at its middle point, with a sloped portion out of the second sloped portions of the third metal wiring at its middle point. There is also the same orthogonal relationship among the other portions.
