A liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes in the following order: a liquid crystal panel in a normally black mode; a first adhesive layer; and a supporting substrate. The liquid crystal panel includes, in the order toward the first adhesive layer, a first polarizing plate, a liquid crystal cell, and a second polarizing plate. The liquid crystal cell includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a second adhesive layer that surrounds the liquid crystal layer and bonds the first substrate and the second substrate at outer edges. The first adhesive layer bonds the second polarizing plate and the supporting substrate at outer edges. A Young's modulus of the first adhesive layer is equal to or higher than a Young's modulus of the second adhesive layer.
