Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a liquid crystal panel including two insulating base plates with electrode patterns provided on their surfaces, respectively, a sealant which bonds the two insulating base plates to each other at their peripheries with a prescribed gap therebetween so that the electrode patterns are opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal player provided in the prescribed gap between said two insulating base plates; and a resilient light-shielding mask which is fit in an outer periphery of the sealant at an end of said liquid crystal panel so that the resilient light-shielding mask sandwiches said insulating base plates of said liquid crystal panel from both sides, wherein said resilient light-shielding mask has an opening which has an interval defined between extending portions of said resilient light-shielding mask that is slightly smaller than the thickness of said liquid crystal panel.
