A liquid crystal display device includes at least: a liquid crystal display panel; a light source provided on a back side of the liquid crystal display panel; and a frame accommodating the liquid crystal display panel and the light source and having an upper opening and a lower opening in an upper portion and a lower portion of the frame, respectively. The liquid crystal display panel includes a TFT substrate provided on a side of the light source, a CF substrate, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the TFT substrate and the CF substrate, a thin film driving circuit formed on the TFT substrate for driving the liquid crystal layer, and a front polarizing plate provided on a front surface of the CF substrate and having an overhanging portion overhanging from a periphery of the CF substrate. The front polarizing plate covers the upper opening of the frame and the overhanging portion is fixed to an upper end surface of the frame.
