This liquid crystal display panel (100A) includes: first and second substrates (10A, 20A) which are arranged to face each other with a liquid crystal layer (30A) interposed between them; a counter electrode (24) formed on one of the first and second substrates (10A, 20A); a first alignment film (16a) formed on one side of the first substrate (10A) to face the liquid crystal layer (30A); and a second alignment film (26a) formed on one side of the second substrate (20A) to face the liquid crystal layer (30A). In a pixel, the liquid crystal layer (30A) has a low-pretilt region (R1a) and a high-pretilt region (R2a) in which liquid crystal molecules (32) have mutually different pretilt angles. The counter electrode (24) includes a plurality of sub-counter electrodes which are electrically independent of each other. And the plurality of sub-counter electrodes include a first sub-counter electrode (24ab) associated with the low-pretilt region (R1a) and a second sub-counter electrode (24b) associated with the high-pretilt region (R2a).
