Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first flexible substrate; a second flexible substrate arranged to face the first flexible substrate; a liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate by a frame-shaped sealing member; a display area located inside the sealing member and arranged to contribute to display; a non-display area located outside the display area and does not contribute to the display; and a plurality of spacers interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a height which determines a thickness of the liquid crystal layer; wherein a wall which is taller than the spacers in the display area is provided in the non-display area to be interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate in the non-display area is gradually reduced in a direction from an area where the wall is provided to the display area and also in a direction extending away from the display area from the area where the wall is provided; a relief area in which the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate is larger than that in the display area is provided in the non-display area between the wall and the display area; the sealing member is arranged on the side of the wall opposite the display area; and a surface of the wall opposite the display area is in contact with the sealing member.
