Patent ID: 8319909

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel that includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal that is held between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a backlight that is disposed on the first substrate side of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight includes a frame-like mold frame, the liquid crystal display panel is adhered to the mold frame by a double-sided tape, the backlight includes an optical sheet that is disposed inside the mold frame, the liquid crystal display panel includes a lower polarization plate on a surface of the first substrate on the mold frame side, wherein the optical sheet is larger than the lower polarization plate, the double-sided tape is directly adhered to a peripheral portion of the first substrate which avoids the lower polarization plate of the liquid crystal display panel on one side and is adhered to the mold frame and a peripheral portion of the optical sheet on the other side, when A represents the thickness of the double-sided tape and B represents the thickness of the lower polarization plate, A and B satisfy A>B and the difference (A−B) between the thickness A of the double-sided tape and the thickness B of the lower polarization plate satisfies 0<(A−B)<50 μm.
