The present invention relates to a
liquid crystal display device employing a colour filter in which a specific
liquid crystal composition, a specific
pigment, and a specific compound are used. The present invention provides a
liquid crystal display device which inhibits a reduction in the
voltage holding ratio (VHR) of a liquid
crystal layer, inhibits an increase in
ion density (ID), and resolves problems related to display defects such as
white spots, alignment unevenness, and burn-in. This
liquid crystal display device is characterized in that a reduction in the
voltage holding ratio (VHR) of the liquid
crystal layer is inhibited, an increase in
ion density (ID) is inhibited, and the occurrence of display defects such as burn-in is suppressed. Accordingly, the
liquid crystal display device is particularly useful as an active-matrix-drive TN-mode, IPS-mode,
polymer-stabilized IPS-mode, FFS-mode, OCB-mode, VA-mode, or ECB-mode
liquid crystal display device. Furthermore, the liquid
crystal display device is applicable as a liquid
crystal display device such as a liquid-crystal TV, monitor, portable telephone, or smartphone.
