Abstract
A liquid crystal display device preventing a liquid crystal display panel from damage by bending of a light-transmissive substrate and capable of curving a display surface of the panel is provided. The liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having a liquid crystal layer sealed between a pair of light-transmissive substrates having pixel formation electrodes on inner surfaces thereof, and formed by assembling positive and negative curved surfaces with respect to one direction; a backlight mounted on a rear surface of the panel along a curved shape of the panel and having at least one light emission device irradiating illumination light toward the rear surface; and a resin member held in a space between peripheral portions where the panel is opposed to the backlight, and fixing and holding a curved state, is provided. Distortion of the light transmissive glass substrates by bending of the panel is eased.
