Liquid crystal display device with first and second substrates sealed by sealing material with an end of protective material on second substrate being disposed between inner and outer wall surfaces of the sealing material

A liquid crystal display device, comprising a liquid crystal display panel having:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate;
• a sealing material provided between the first substrate and the second substrate so that the first substrate and the second substrate are pasted together;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer sealed in a region surrounded by the sealing material between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• wherein
• the first substrate includes a plurality of first cell regions arranged in a matrix, each of the first cell regions having a pixel electrode and a thin film transistor;
• the second substrate includes a protective film over the second substrate and a light blocking film coated with the protective film on a surface of the second substrate on the liquid crystal layer side;
• an end of the protective film is located inside an end of the second substrate between a most inner wall surface and most outer wall surface of the sealing material and closer to a periphery of the second substrate than a position of the light blocking film with respect to the periphery of the second substrate;
• and
• the protective film is made of a protective material.
