In a liquid crystal display device comprising a pair of substrates between which
a liquid crystal layer is interposed, a display surface provided on one of the
substrates, and a lighting device arranged at a side of another of the substrates,
the present invention forms a light shielding film on at least one of side surfaces
of the substrates along a direction perpendicular to the display surface and prevents
light leak leaking from the lighting device through the at least one of side surfaces.
