A liquid crystal display apparatus of the present invention includes a housing holding an outer peripheral portion of a liquid crystal panel with gap portions provided in a central portion thereof such that a curvature of a curved shape is variable when a surface pressing stress is applied, in which columnar spacers are arranged at a higher density in a region of the central portion in a curve direction than in a region of a peripheral portion, the density being the density of the columnar spacers holding a gap between glass substrates in a display region of the curved liquid crystal panel.
