In the present invention, a liquid crystal display device capable of achieving a high contrast ratio and a wide viewing angle, and capable of achieving a high-speed response is provided. The liquid crystal display device in the present invention is configured such that, when viewed in a plan view, at least one contour line of a plurality of linear portions of a first electrode intersects with a branch portion of a second electrode and a branch portion of a third electrode adjacent to each other, a length of a part intersecting with the branch portion of the third electrode is longer than a length of a part intersecting with the branch portion of the second electrode, and a driving operation is performed such that a potential difference between the first electrode and the third electrode is equal to or greater than a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode.
