Stereoscopic image display device having negative pressure regions within

Abstract

A stereoscopic image display devicecomprising a backlight, a liquid crystal display panel, a liquid crystal parallax barrier, and a spacer memberarranged between the liquid crystal display paneland the liquid crystal parallax barrier, in which the spacer memberis made of a glass material different from that of the glass substratesconstituting the liquid crystal display panel, and the spacer memberis a glass substrate having a thermal expansion coefficient larger than that of the glass substratesconstituting the liquid crystal display panel. More specifically, it is preferable that the spacer memberconsist of a soda glass substrate and that the liquid crystal display panelfor display be formed of non-alkali glass. With this constitution, it is possible to provide a stereoscopic image display device, which can be used as a large-sized stereoscopic image display device by means of the liquid crystal parallax barrier method, with good display quality and where due consideration has been given to the thermal expansion of the substrate caused by heat generated by the backlight, and the manufacturing method therefor.
