Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel having a drive cell and a correction cell to correct a phase difference, and aims to improve a defect of display which occurs due to existence of a defective area in the vicinity of the inside of the seal member of a drive cell and correction cell. The liquid crystal display device includes the liquid crystal panel having the drive celland the correction cellto correct the phase difference. The liquid crystal panel is structured by being overlapped between the correction celland the drive cellin the form that the defective areaof the inside is overlapped in the vicinity of the seal memberof the drive cell, in the range of the normal areaof the correction. According to this structure, it is possible to avoid overlapping between the defective areas of the drive cell and the correction cell, and to reduce and improve defects in display due to the defective area.
