Abstract

A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal display panel and a light guide plate arranged in a rear side of the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel is of a substantially spherical shape, and the liquid crystal display panel is fitted at a front side of the light guide plate such that a proximity of a central portion of the liquid crystal display panel is outwardly bulged. There can be prevented display deficiencies (paddling) owing to interference between the liquid crystal display panel and the backlighting unit or between the former and the casing. Moreover, since no interference exists between the liquid crystal display panel and the backlighting unit or between the former and the casing, sheets such as the diffusing sheet will not be wrinkled, and the brightness of the backlighting unit can be maintained to be uniform.
