Abstract
According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display device includes an array substrate, a counter substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and a sealing material. The array substrate includes signal lines, scanning lines, pixel electrodes, and elongated protrusions. The counter substrate includes counter protuberances and a planarization film. Each of the elongated protrusions of the array substrate extends in such a way as to cover a corresponding one of the signal lines and in a rib-like manner along the corresponding signal line. Each of the counter protuberances of the counter substrate is formed integrally with the planarization film and is formed to extend along a direction intersecting a corresponding one of the elongated protrusions. An outer edge of the planarization film is located nearer to a central portion of the liquid crystal display device than an inner edge of the sealing material.
