Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal panel which includes a liquid crystal layer and a pair of resilient substrates which sandwiches the liquid crystal layer therebetween; and a curving holding means (a lower frame, an upper frame, a plurality of bolts, and a plurality of nuts) which clamps an outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal panel from a front surface and a back surface of the liquid crystal panel so as to hold the liquid crystal panel in a state that the liquid crystal panel is curved in one direction, wherein a clamping force applied to a non-curved outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal panel by the curving holding means is set larger than a clamping force applied to a curved outer peripheral portion of the liquid crystal panel by the curving holding means.
