A guest-host liquid crystal display device comprises a pair of substrates opposing each other with a space therebetween, a guest-host liquid crystal held in the space, the guest-host liquid crystal containing a dichroic dye mixture exhibiting a black color as a whole, and electrodes provided on the substrates for applying a voltage to the guest-host liquid crystal. The dichroic dye mixture comprises a bis-azo blue dye having a thienothiazole ring represented by the following chemical formula (1) and a tris-azo bluish purple dye having a benzothiazole ring represented by the following chemical formula (2): wherein R1 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, CnH2n+1, COCnH2n+1, OCOCnH2n+1, COOCnH2n+1, or CH2COOCnH2n+1, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 8; each of R2 and R3 is a hydrogen atom or CnH2n+1; R3 may be or and a combination of R2 and R3 may form wherein n is an integer from 1 to 8, and m is an integer from 1 to 5; and R4 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, or CnH2n+1, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 8.
