Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display element including one substrate and another substrate opposed to the one substrate, a non-facing area in which the one substrate projects with respect to the other substrate, and a driver integrated circuit IC mounted on a first surface of the one substrate in the non-facing area; a backlight including a light source, a light guide body provided laterally to the light source to convert light from the light source into planar light, and a plurality of optical sheets provided in a laminated manner between the light guide body and the liquid crystal display element, the backlight arranged to irradiate the planar light onto the liquid crystal display element; a double-sided adhesive tape bonding the backlight and the liquid crystal display element; and a frame surrounding and holding the liquid crystal display element and the backlight, wherein the frame includes fitted portions recessed in positions opposed to the optical sheets, and wherein the optical sheets are each formed in a rectangular shape having a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides, and one short side of the pair of short sides being positioned near the light source; the optical sheets each include: only a single protrusion provided in a predetermined position of each optical sheet on the respective long sides close to the one short side to be fitted into the respective fitted portions; a stuck portion provided only in a vicinity of the one short side inclusive and stuck to the double-sided adhesive tape; each singular protrusion on each of the optical sheets has the same shape and size; and the stuck portion is disposed on a second surface of the one substrate in the non-facing area.
