A polarization glasses type stereoscopic image display displaying a stereoscopic image on a display surface includes a thin film transistor array substrate, a color filter array substrate having a plurality of black matrix patterns formed on a first plane facing the thin film transistor array substrate, a plurality of black stripe patterns that are aligned correspondingly to the black matrix patterns on a second plane of the color filter array substrate opposite to the first plane, and a patterned retarder disposed over the second plane of the color filter array substrate. The overall vertical pitch of the patterned retarder is less than the overall vertical pitch of a pixel array formed on the display surface.
