A vertically alignment mode liquid crystal display device having an
improved viewing angle characteristic is disclosed. The disclosed liquid
crystal display device uses a liquid crystal having a negative
anisotropic dielectric constant, and orientations of the liquid crystal
are vertical to substrates when no voltage being applied, almost
horizontal when a predetermined voltage is applied, and oblique when an
intermediate voltage is applied. At least one of the substrates includes
a structure as domain regulating means, and inclined surfaces of the
structure operate as a trigger to regulate azimuths of the oblique
orientations of the liquid crystal when the intermediate voltage is
applied.
