An LCD device has scratch-resistant property without using a protection
sheet and can provide enhanced brightness. The LCD device includes a
light path regulating member. The member includes a first prism sheet
having first prisms of which apex has a round shape. The first prism
sheet concentrates light supplied from a lamp to output the concentrated
light. An anti-glare polarizing plate uniformly polarizes polarized
planes of the concentrated light and provides the polarized light to the
lower substrate. The anti-glare polarizing plate is arranged below the
lower substrate of an LCD panel, and an uppermost prism sheet of optical
sheets is non-matte-treated and has round-treated apexes. In spite of the
absence of the protection sheet, the scratch-resistant property of the
uppermost prism sheet and the brightness of the LCD panel may be
enhanced.
