To maintain good operation of a peripheral circuit using an oxide thin film transistor in a liquid crystal display panel to which photo alignment is applied, the liquid crystal display panel includes: a transparent substrate provided with an oxide thin film transistor in the periphery of a pixel portion in which pixel electrodes are arranged, to control the pixel electrodes; and an alignment film to align liquid crystal provided in the pixel portion. The alignment film is subjected to photo alignment treatment by ultraviolet irradiation. Further, an ultraviolet absorbing layer is provided so as to cover the oxide thin film transistor. For example, an alignment film is used for the ultraviolet absorbing layer to absorb the ultraviolet light for the photo aliment treatment of the alignment film, in the peripheral circuit portion for controlling the pixel electrodes, thereby preventing the threshold voltage of the oxide thin film transistor from shifting.
