Abstract
Stress exerted on a liquid crystal display element via a case was likely to impede display on the liquid crystal display element, or damage a liquid crystal display device. A front end of a rib 9 protruding toward a case 1 from a peripheral edge portion of a holder 8 supporting a liquid crystal display element 4 is brought into contact with the case 1, whereby stress on the case 1 is imposed on the rib 9. Thus, stress directly acting on the liquid crystal display element 4 via a rubber sheet 7 can be prevented.
