There is provided a liquid crystal display device in which display defects that would be caused by asymmetry of light emitted from a backlight are reduced and which is capable of providing brightness with improved symmetry about the direction vertical to the display surface. The liquid crystal display device includes a backlight configured to emit light toward a liquid crystal panel and a microlens array interposed between the liquid crystal panel and the backlight. The backlight emits the light toward the microlens array such that the average propagation direction of the emitted light is a second direction, the second direction being different from a first direction that is perpendicular to a light receiving surface of the liquid crystal panel. Each of the plurality of microlenses has an asymmetric shape about an axis which is perpendicular to the light receiving surface and which passes through the center of the microlens, and emits light toward the liquid crystal panel such that the average propagation direction of the emitted light is nearer to the first direction than the second direction.
