A liquid crystal display device including: a light source; a polarizing film of light source side; a liquid crystal cell; and a polarizing film of display side is provided, the liquid crystal display device further comprising: an optical compensatory sheet disposed between the liquid crystal cell and the polarizing film of the light source side or between the liquid crystal cell and the polarizing film of the display side; and a light-scattering sheet disposed at an outermost surface of the polarizing film of display side, wherein luminance in a normal direction with respect to the liquid crystal display device in a black display state without the light-scattering sheet is 0.3 cd/m2 or less, maximum value of black luminance in a polar angle range within 600 with respect to the normal direction is 2.0 cd/m2 or less, and total haze of the light-scattering sheet is from 30 to 90%.
