A display device includes: a gate line having an extension direction; a switch unit electrically connecting to the gate line; a pixel electrode electrically connecting to the switch unit; and a slit in the pixel electrode, wherein a virtual line parallel to the extension direction passes through an end point of the slit which is closest to the gate line, the pixel electrode is divided into a first portion and a second portion by the virtual line, and the first portion is closer to the gate line than the second portion, and wherein -the slit has a first width in the extension direction and a second width in the extension direction, the second width is closer to the first portion than the first width, and the first width is less than the second width.
