A liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel includes a first electrode, a second electrode opposed to the first electrode, and a liquid crystal layer between the second electrode and the first electrode; a first region in each of the plurality of pixels having a first optical path length between the first electrode and the second electrode; a second region in each of the plurality of pixels having a second optical path length between the first electrode and the second electrode, the second optical path length being shorter than the first optical path length, the second region has the liquid crystal layer equal in thickness to the liquid crystal layer in the first region; and an optical path length adjusting layer between the liquid crystal layer and the first electrode in the first region.
