A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate section having a first substrate and pixel electrodes (102). Each pixel electrode (102) includes a bridging portion (102c) provided between a first pixel electrode portion (102a) and a second pixel electrode portion (102b) and linking together the first pixel electrode portion (102a) and the second pixel electrode portion (102b). A first recess (102d) is provided at one side along the width direction of the pixel electrode (102), the first recess (102d) extending from one side along the width direction of the pixel electrode (102) toward the bridging portion (102c) and being located between the first pixel electrode portion (102a) and the second pixel electrode portion (102b). A second recess (102e) is provided at another side along the width direction of the pixel electrode (102), the second recess (102e) extending from the other side along the width direction of the pixel electrode (102) toward the bridging portion (102c) and being located between the first pixel electrode portion (102a) and the second pixel electrode portion (102b).
