A liquid crystal display device of the present invention is one in which unevenness of display, spots generated due to lowering of voltage retention because of impurity ions are sufficiently eliminated and reliability of long-time/long-term use is improved. A liquid crystal display device of the present invention is one comprising a first substrate and a second substrate configured via a liquid crystal layer and a seal,wherein at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate comprises, towards the liquid crystal layer, a color filter layer, a transparent electrode and an alignment layer in this order andat least one of the transparent electrode and the alignment layer covers the color filter layer in a non-display region.
