<p>A liquid crystal display device (200A) comprises a liquid crystal display panel (100A) and a backlight (110). The liquid crystal display panel (100A) has a liquid crystal layer (10) having a plurality of liquid crystal regions and walls including a polymer between adjacent liquid crystal regions, first and second substrates (1, 2) disposed on the observer-side and the back side of the liquid crystal layer, a first polarizing plate (4) formed on the surface of the first substrate on the observer side, a second polarizing plate (6) formed on the surface of the second substrate (2) on the back side thereof, and a fluorescence layer (12) disposed between the second polarizing plate and a backlight and including a fluorescent substance which excites and generates visible light upon absorbing light of a predetermined wavelength. The backlight (110) has a photoirradiation part for irradiating light of a predetermined wavelength to the fluorescence layer (12), and when viewed from the direction of the line normal to the liquid crystal display panel, at least one side of the outer edge (12e) of the fluorescence layer aligns with one side of the outer edges (4e, 6e) of the first and second polarizing plates and one side of the outer edges (1e, 2e) of the first and second substrates.</p> |
