A liquid crystal display device having an active matrix display panel with pixel regions having two pixel electrodes and two TFT elements thereon. The two pixel electrodes are formed in each of the pixel regions, the two pixel electrodes are connected to different ones of the two TFT elements and one counter electrode is formed in each of the pixel regions, the counter electrode being formed between a layer of the pixel electrode and a first substrate. Each pixel electrode in the pixel regions has plural slits, the slits in each pixel electrode extending in two directions, and the slits extend in a direction which is not parallel to an extending direction of either of a video signal line or a scanning signal line formed on the first substrate. The two pixel electrodes in the pixel region have adjacent pixel electrode sides which are parallel to each other.
