A liquid-crystal display device includes a liquid-crystal display panel having a liquid-crystal layer sandwiched between a pair of substrates, and a backlight unit provided on a surface opposite to a display surface of the liquid-crystal display panel. The backlight unit has an accommodator capable of having at least one optical sheet arranged therein and having a sidewall having a projection at a periphery thereof. The optical sheet has a hole into which the projection is inserted, the hole formed in the optical sheet having a form that is the same as the top plan form of the tip of the projection, the hole being formed in the optical sheet so that a certain rotation angle is established between the form of the hole and a top plan form of the tip of the projection in a state in which the optical sheet is accommodated in the accommodator.
