Pixel regions are formed on a liquid-crystal-side surface of one substrate out of respective substrates which are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner with liquid crystal therebetween, wherein each pixel region includes pixel electrodes having bent portions and counter electrodes which are arranged at positions where the pixel electrodes are shifted in parallel, the pixel electrode and the counter electrode are respectively constituted of two electrodes which are overlapped to each other as an upper layer and a lower layer by way of an insulation film, and to the lower-layer side electrode of at least one electrode out of the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, projections which further project from crests of convex-portion sides of the bent portions and extend toward another electrode side are provided.
