Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a liquid crystal display device with sufficiently reduced or prevented alignment defect generation and useful as an in-cell touch panel capable of providing display in the reflective mode. The liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a reflective layer reflecting light, first and second electrodes capable of generating a transverse electric field in the liquid crystal layer, and a first horizontal alignment film. At least one of the first electrode or the second electrode includes strip portions and a slit between adjacent two strip portions among the strip portions. The second substrate includes a second horizontal alignment film in contact with the liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal layer includes liquid crystal molecules having a positive anisotropy of dielectric constant and is in a twist alignment during no voltage application.
