Abstract

In a front light type liquid crystal display device, to prevent a reduction in the quality of a visible image to be displayed caused by dust entering the liquid crystal display device. To prevent a reduction in the quality of a visible image to be displayed caused by ununiform close contact between the light-guiding member and another member of the liquid crystal display device. A liquid crystal display device 21 including a liquid crystal structure 6 consisting of a pair of substrates 17a and 17b with liquid crystal L filled therebetween; a light source 2 which emits light; a light-guiding member 3, disposed at the observer side of the liquid crystal structure 6, for guiding the light from the light source 2 to the liquid crystal structure 6; and a cover 23 disposed at the observer side of the light-guiding member 3. A first spacer member 12 is disposed between the light-guiding member 3 and the liquid crystal structure 6 at the peripheral portions thereof so as to be in close contact with the light-guiding member 3 and the liquid crystal structure 6, and a second spacer member is disposed between the light-guiding member 3 and the cover 23 at the peripheral portions thereof so as to be in close contact with the light-guiding member 3 and the cover 23. The spacer members 12 and 22 prevent the entry of dust between the liquid crystal structure 6 and the light-guiding member 3 and between the light-guiding member 3 and the cover 23, and can be used to eliminate the problem of ununiform close contact between these component parts.
