In a vertically aligned liquid crystal display device for controlling liquid
crystal
molecules alignment in voltage application by providing linear structures or linear
slits consisting of a plurality of constituent units to at least one of a pair
of substrates having an electrode thereon, there is provided alignment controlling
means for forming an alignment singular point s=-;1 of liquid crystal molecules
at an intersecting point between the structures on the pixel electrode or the slits
in the electrode and an edge of a pixel electrode on one of the substrates.
