A liquid crystal display device includes a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer sealed between main surfaces of the substrates, a sealing member formed on peripheral portions of opposing main surfaces of a pair of these substrates to fixedly secure the pair of substrates to each other and surround the liquid crystal layer, and a light shielding film formed on one of the peripheral portions of the pair of substrates opposite to the liquid crystal layer without manual application. A region on which the light shielding film is formed is overlapped on a region of the main surface of one of the pair of substrates on which the seal member is formed in a back-to-back relationship, and light shielding film is formed of polyester-based resin to which a black pigment is added.
