In a liquid crystal display apparatus, a conductive agent is spread on a surface of the polarizing plate adhered to a substrate 12 disposed on an opposite side of another substrate 12 to which a color filter is adhered, so that the spread conductive agent has a resistance of 110⁹ ohms/square. A protective film is adhered on the spread conductive agent. By this technique, static electricity generated at the time when the protective film is peeled off is uniformly distributed on the surface of the polarizing plate, thereby not generating non-uniform electrification of the static electricity. As a result, display non-uniformity due to the non-uniform electrification is not generated, and therefore it is not required to conduct an electrification removal operation of the static electricity which takes a long time.
