A liquid crystal display apparatus is provided in which occurrence of a moiré pattern can be prevented without largely reducing front luminance. A liquid crystal display apparatus 1 includes a surface light source 4, a liquid crystal display panel 2, and first and second prism sheets 5 and 6 for condensing light emitted from the surface light source 4 and guiding the light toward the liquid crystal display panel. The first and second prism sheets 5 and 6 are disposed such that prism array directions thereof are orthogonal to each other. When a pixel pitch of the liquid crystal display panel 2 is defined as Pp [μm]; a prism array pitch of the first prism sheet 5 is defined as Px [μm]; and a prism array pitch of the second prism sheet 6 is defined as Py [μm], relationships of Px≦Pp/(14−0.045 Pp) and Py≦Pp/(11.5−0.032 Pp) are satisfied.
