There is provided a liquid crystal display panel that includes an array substrate having at least a pixel electrode and a switching element for every pixel area in a display area on a transparent substrate, a color filter substrate in which a light shielding layer made of a resin is formed on a transparent substrate at least outside the display area and a color filter layer is formed to oppose the pixel electrode, and liquid crystal enclosed between the array substrate and the color filter substrate that are bonded by a seal material. A protection film having an opening, the opening being opened in the display area, is formed on the color filter substrate in the outside of the display area to cover at least the portion of the light shielding layer on which the seal material is formed.
