Patent ID: 8045108

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having a first substrate, a second substrate disposed on an observer side of the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a transparent cover affixed by means of a first bonding member to a surface of the liquid crystal display panel on the observer side, wherein the transparent cover has an optical member affixed by means of a second bonding member to a surface of the transparent cover facing the second substrate, the second substrate has a chemically polished surface on the observer side, the first bonding member, as well as making direct contact with both the polished surface of the second substrate and the optical member, covers all of a surface portion of the second substrate corresponding to a display area, and the first bonding member is 30 to 200 μm in thickness, while the second bonding member is 10 to 25 μm in thickness so that the thickness of the first bonding member is greater than the thickness of the second bonding member.
