A polymer dispersed liquid crystal display device includes opposing substrates having transparent electrodes formed on opposing surfaces thereof, and a composite film arranged between the substrates and having an arrangement obtained by dispersing a liquid crystal in a polymer. The composite film includes a phase-separation polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer constituted by a composite film consisting of a liquid crystal and a polymer, and liquid crystal capsules which are dispersed in the phase separation polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer and in which a liquid crystal is sealed. Each of the liquid crystal capsules has an outer diameter equal to a gap between the substrate and functions as a spacer for regulating the gap between the substrate. Liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal capsules, like liquid crystal molecules in the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer, are aligned in accordance with a voltage applied across the opposing electrodes to transmit or scatter incident light.
