Abstract
A liquid crystal display device which can prevent lowering of characteristics thereof when a liquid crystal display panel is bent is provided. A liquid crystal display device includes: a bent liquid crystal display panel which includes a first substrate and a second substrate which are fixed to each other by a sealing material, and liquid crystal which is hermetically filled in a space defined between the first substrate and the second substrate; and pressing members which press the first substrate and the second substrate in the direction that the first substrate and the second substrate come closer to each other. The liquid crystal display panel includes a straight line on a surface thereof and is bent along a bent line which surrounds an axis arranged parallel to the straight line. The sealing material includes non-bent portions which extend along the straight line and are not bent, and bent portions which extend along the bent line. The pressing members press the first substrate and the second substrate in regions defined between the non-bent portions of the sealing material and a display region of the liquid crystal display panel.
