In the ion trapping mechanism according to the above described exemplary embodiments, each of the three electrodes 121, 122, and 123 configured for ion trapping is not limited to being disposed to have a frame shape surrounding the display region E1. As illustrated in FIG. 4, when ionic impurities are located unevenly in a limited position (the lower left corner and the upper right corner of the display region E1 in FIG. 4) in accordance with a method of alignment control of the liquid crystal molecules LC, the at least three electrodes 121, 122, and 123 configured for ion trapping may be disposed in different positions at different intervals from the display region E1 and at intervals between each other in correspondence to the position where ionic impurities are located unevenly. In other words, the at least three electrodes 121, 122, and 123 configured for ion trapping may be disposed in different positions at different distances from the display region E1 and at distances between each other in correspondence to the position where ionic impurities are located unevenly.
