wherein the liquid crystal display device includes a weir pattern on a space side of the sealing member, and a height of the weir pattern assumes a largest value at a center portion of the weir pattern which corresponds to a center of the sealed space of the liquid crystal and is gradually decreased toward opposite sides of the weir pattern which are adjacent to the sealing member,

wherein a height of the center portion of the weir pattern is less than a height of the space between the pair of substrates, and

wherein the weir pattern continuously extends over a substantial portion of the first side of the one substrate.

2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein assuming a width of the portion of the sealing member which is formed along the first side of the one substrate as L and a width of a portion where the portion of the sealing member which is formed along the first side of the one substrate and at least one line layer overlap each other as T, a relationship of T<(L/2) is satisfied.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first side of the one substrate is at least one side of long sides of the one substrate.

4. A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal display panel which includes a pair of substrates, a sealing member which is formed on a peripheral portion between the pair of substrates without a cut, and liquid crystal which is sealed in a space surrounded by the sealing member between the pair of substrates, wherein

wherein the uncured portion of the sealing material contacts the liquid crystal which is in the sealed space surrounded by the sealing member,

wherein the liquid crystal display device includes a weir pattern on a space side of the sealing member, and a height of the weir pattern assumes a largest value at a center portion of the weir pattern which corresponds to a center of the sealed space of the liquid crystal and is gradually lowered toward opposite sides of the weir pattern which are adjacent to the sealing member,

wherein a height of the center portion of the weir pattern is less than a height of the space between the pair of substrates, and

wherein the weir pattern continuously extends over a substantial portion of one of the pair of substrates.

5. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 4 , wherein the hole portion is arranged at a corner portion of the sealing member, and the hole portion is formed in a columnar shape.

6. A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal display panel which includes a pair of substrates, a sealing member which is formed on a peripheral portion between the pair of substrates without a cut, and liquid crystal which is sealed in a space surrounded by the sealing member between the pair of substrates, wherein

the liquid crystal display device includes a weir pattern on a space side of the sealing member, and a height of the weir pattern assumes a largest value at a center portion of the weir pattern which corresponds to a center of the sealed space of the liquid crystal and is gradually decreased toward opposite sides of the weir pattern which are adjacent to the sealing member, and

a height of the center portion of the weir pattern is less than a height of the space between the pair of substrates, and wherein the weir pattern continuously extends over a substantial portion of one of the pair of substrates.
