A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 95% of the average value of its portfolio.</font> <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">You may qualify for sales charge reductions if you and members of your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds.</font> 100000 <ul type="square"><li><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">how the Fund's performance changed from year to year over ten years; and</font></li></ul><ul type="square"><li><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">how the Fund's average annual returns for one, five and ten years compare to those of a broad-based securities market index.</font></li></ul> <div style="display:none">~ http://www.AllianceBernstein.com/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpensesALLIANCEBERNSTEINLARGECAPGROWTHFUNDINC column period compact * ~</div> 0.2024 485BPOS ALLIANCEBERNSTEIN LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND INC 2012-11-01 -0.0012 0 0 0 0 0 0 89 127 159 109 314 621 547 221 214 2308 2441 <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge reductions if you and members of your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in Investing in the Funds--Sales Charge Reduction Programs for Class A Shares on page 53 of this Prospectus and in Purchase of Shares--Sales Charge Reduction Programs for Class A Shares on page 113 of the Funds' SAI.</font> <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses stay the same and that the fee waiver is in effect for only the first year.

The Fund invests primarily in the domestic equity securities of companies selected by the Fund's Adviser for their growth potential within various market sectors. The Fund emphasizes investments in large, seasoned companies and normally invests in approximately 50-70 companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of large-capitalization companies.</font><br/><br/><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">For these purposes, "large-capitalization companies" are those that, at the time of investment, have market capitalizations within the range of market capitalizations of companies appearing in the Russell 1000 Growth Index. While the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index ranged from approximately $1.4 billion to $540 billion as of June 30, 2012, the Fund normally will invest in common stocks of companies with market capitalizations of at least $5 billion at the time of purchase.</font><br/><br/><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The Adviser expects that normally the Fund's portfolio will tend to emphasize investments in securities issued by U.S. companies, although it may invest in foreign securities.</font><br/><br/><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">This investment team allocates the Fund's investments among broad sector groups based on the fundamental company research conducted by the Adviser's large internal research staff, assessing the current and forecasted investment opportunities and conditions, as well as diversification and risk considerations. The investment team may vary the percentage allocations among market sectors and may change the market sectors in which the Fund invests as companies' potential for growth within a sector matures and new trends for growth emerge.</font><br/><br/><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The Adviser's research focus is in companies with high sustainable growth prospects, high or improving return on invested capital, transparent business models, and strong and lasting competitive advantages.</font><br/><br/><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The Fund may, at times, invest in shares of ETFs in lieu of making direct investments in securities. ETFs may provide more efficient and economical exposure to the types of companies and geographic locations in which the Fund seeks to invest than direct investments.</font><br/><br/><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The Fund may enter into derivatives transactions, such as options, futures contracts, forwards and swaps. The Fund may use options strategies involving the purchase and/or writing of various combinations of call and/or put options, including on individual securities and stock indexes, futures contracts (including futures contracts on individual securities and stock indexes) or shares of ETFs. These transactions may be used, for example, in an effort to earn extra income, to adjust exposure to individual securities or markets, or to protect all or a portion of the Fund's portfolio from a decline in value, sometimes within certain ranges.</font> -0.051 0.0147 0.0147 0.0126 0.0128 0.0113 0.0218 0.0176 0.0206 0.024 0.0259 <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">November 1, 2013</font> <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">As with all investments, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.</font> <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Are an estimate, which is based on the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and are likely to differ from those shown;</font> <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Are not relevant to investors who hold fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.</font> -0.3166 -0.0089 2009-09-30 0.1651 <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">WORST QUARTER </font> 2002-06-30 <ul type="square"><li><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">MARKET RISK: The value of the Fund's assets will fluctuate as the stock or bond market fluctuates.

You may qualify for sales charge reductions if you and members of your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in AllianceBernstein Mutual Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in Investing in the Funds--Sales Charge Reduction Programs for Class A Shares on page 53 of this Prospectus and in Purchase of Shares--Sales Charge Reduction Programs for Class A Shares on page 113 of the Funds' SAI.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys or sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 95% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses stay the same and that the fee waiver is in effect for only the first year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Expense Example, No Redemption, By Year, Caption [Text] rr_ExpenseExampleNoRedemptionByYearCaption For the share classes listed below, you would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares at the end of the period:
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of a limited number of large, carefully selected, high-quality U.S. companies. The Fund invests primarily in the domestic equity securities of companies selected by the Fund's Adviser for their growth potential within various market sectors. The Fund emphasizes investments in large, seasoned companies and normally invests in approximately 50-70 companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of large-capitalization companies.

For these purposes, "large-capitalization companies" are those that, at the time of investment, have market capitalizations within the range of market capitalizations of companies appearing in the Russell 1000 Growth Index. While the market capitalizations of companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index ranged from approximately $1.4 billion to $540 billion as of June 30, 2012, the Fund normally will invest in common stocks of companies with market capitalizations of at least $5 billion at the time of purchase.

The Adviser expects that normally the Fund's portfolio will tend to emphasize investments in securities issued by U.S. companies, although it may invest in foreign securities.

This investment team allocates the Fund's investments among broad sector groups based on the fundamental company research conducted by the Adviser's large internal research staff, assessing the current and forecasted investment opportunities and conditions, as well as diversification and risk considerations. The investment team may vary the percentage allocations among market sectors and may change the market sectors in which the Fund invests as companies' potential for growth within a sector matures and new trends for growth emerge.

The Adviser's research focus is in companies with high sustainable growth prospects, high or improving return on invested capital, transparent business models, and strong and lasting competitive advantages.

The Fund may, at times, invest in shares of ETFs in lieu of making direct investments in securities. ETFs may provide more efficient and economical exposure to the types of companies and geographic locations in which the Fund seeks to invest than direct investments.

The Fund may enter into derivatives transactions, such as options, futures contracts, forwards and swaps. The Fund may use options strategies involving the purchase and/or writing of various combinations of call and/or put options, including on individual securities and stock indexes, futures contracts (including futures contracts on individual securities and stock indexes) or shares of ETFs. These transactions may be used, for example, in an effort to earn extra income, to adjust exposure to individual securities or markets, or to protect all or a portion of the Fund's portfolio from a decline in value, sometimes within certain ranges.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
  • MARKET RISK: The value of the Fund's assets will fluctuate as the stock or bond market fluctuates. The value of its investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events that affect large portions of the market. It includes the risk that a particular style of investing, such as growth, may underperform the market generally.
  • FOCUSED PORTFOLIO RISK: Investments in a limited number of companies may have more risk because changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either negative or positive, on the Fund's net asset value or, NAV.
  • FOREIGN (NON-U.S.) RISK: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers may involve more risk than those of U.S. issuers. These securities may fluctuate more widely in price and may be less liquid due to adverse market, economic, political, regulatory or other factors.
  • DERIVATIVES RISK: Investments in derivatives may be illiquid, difficult to price, and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses for the Fund, and may be subject to counterparty risk to a greater degree than more traditional investments.
  • MANAGEMENT RISK: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment fund. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee that its techniques will produce the intended results.
As with all investments, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

  • how the Fund's performance changed from year to year over ten years; and
  • how the Fund's average annual returns for one, five and ten years compare to those of a broad-based securities market index.
You may obtain updated performance information on the Fund's website at www.AllianceBernstein.com (click on "Individuals - U.S." then "Pricing & Performance").

[3] After-tax returns:- Are shown for Class A shares only and will vary for Class B, Class C and Advisor Class shares because these Classes have different expense ratios;- Are an estimate, which is based on the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and are likely to differ from those shown; and - Are not relevant to investors who hold fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
[4] Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. The CDSC decreases over time. For Class B shares the CDSC decreases 1.00% annually to 0% after the fourth year.
[5] For Class C shares, the CDSC is 0% after the first year.
[6] Inception dates for Class R shares: 11/3/03, and for Class K and Class I shares: 3/1/05. Performance information for periods prior to the inception of Class R, Class K and Class I shares is the performance of the Fund's Class A shares adjusted to reflect the higher expense ratio of the Class R shares and the lower expense ratios of Class K and Class I shares, respectively.
