To provide a liquid crystal display device capable of improving display characteristics. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is a liquid crystal display device including a structure in which the first substrate including a reflective layer, a liquid crystal layer, the second substrate, and a polarizer are stacked in this order from a back face to a display face, wherein the liquid crystal display device includes a retardation layer, in a region on a liquid crystal layer side of the reflective layer of the first substrate, or in a region where the reflective layer is not arranged of the first substrate, or in the second substrate, and the retardation layer provides two or more regions having different retardations in a display surface plane.
