To reduce viewing angle dependence of .gamma. characteristics in a normally black liquid crystal display.Each pixel 10 has a first sub-pixel 10a and a second sub-pixel 10b which can apply mutually different voltages to their respective liquid crystal layers. Relationships .DELTA.V12 (gk)>0 volts and .DELTA.V12 (gk).gtoreq..DELTA.V12 (gk+1) are satisfied at least in a range 0
