Abstract

A liquid crystal display device is a curved liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel which includes a liquid crystal, glass substrates which sandwich the liquid crystal, main spacers, and sub spacers. The main spacers come into contact with both of the glass substrates and keep an interval between the glass substrates. The sub spacers are arranged to come into contact with only one of the glass substrates, and, when the main spacers elastically deform and the interval between the glass substrates becomes close, come into contact with both of the glass substrates and keep the interval. The density of the main spacers per unit area in the display region is higher at a center portion than at both end portions in a curving direction of the liquid crystal panel.
