A first electrode (2), a display electrode (5) and a second electrode (4) connected to the display electrode (5) are disposed on a first substrate, and a nonlinear resistor (14) is disposed in a region where the first and second electrodes overlap. On the other hand, a black matrix (7) and an opposed electrode (9) are disposed on a second substrate (6), and a liquid crystal is sealed between the first and second substrates. In a liquid crystal display device having such a construction, the black matrix (7) has an open portion to be displayed in a display pixel portion and a shading portion disposed in a non-display portion for preventing leaking light, and an open portion (24) is disposed in a region of the opposed electrode (9) opposing the nonlinear resistor (14). Accordingly, light incident from a light source (16) is reflected by the black matrix (7), efficiently irradiates the nonlinear resistor, suppresses asymmetric characteristic changes due to the polarity of the nonlinear resistor, reduces a D.C. voltage applied to the liquid crystal, and prevents the drop of constrast and image seizure as flicker and after-image.
