1. A display device comprising:
a pixel electrode layer arranged with a plurality of pixel electrodes in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction;
a first substrate including a first surface and a second surface arranged with the pixel electrode layer;
a second substrate including a third surface facing to the second surface;
a common electrode layer arranged on the third surface;
a liquid crystal layer arranged between the common electrode layer and the pixel electrode layer;
a plurality of pixels arranged in the first direction and the second direction; and
wherein
each of the plurality of pixel electrodes is arranged with a plurality of first openings,
each of the plurality of pixels is disposed corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel electrodes, and
a number of first openings is the same for each of the plurality of pixels,
an area of each of the plurality of first openings is the same for each of the plurality of pixels,
each of the plurality of first openings is fully enclosed and aligned in the first direction or the second direction in a plan view,
the common electrode layer includes a common electrode and a plurality of second openings arranged in the first direction and the second direction,
the common electrode layer includes second opening groups,
each of the second opening groups includes second openings overlapping the pixel electrode among the plurality of second openings,
each of the second opening groups includes the common electrode overlapping the pixel electrode,
the second opening groups are arranged in the first direction and the second direction at the same pitch as the pixel electrodes,
each of the plurality of second openings included in each of the second opening groups is fully enclosed and aligned in the first direction or the second direction,
all of the plurality of second openings included in each of the second opening groups are aligned in line in one direction different from any direction in which all of the plurality of first openings included in each of the plurality of pixel electrodes are aligned in line, in a plan view.
