A lateral electric field type liquid crystal display device having a curved display surface, comprises: a curved first substrate including a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode; a curved second substrate that is disposed opposite to the first substrate, the second substrate including a polarizing plate; a liquid crystal layer disposed therebetween; a sealing material bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together; and a driver that outputs a drive signal to at least the plurality of gate lines or the plurality of data lines. In the polarizing plate, at least a part of a side near the driver overlaps the sealing material or is disposed outside the sealing material in planar view.
