Abstract
An LCD module covered a protective film and stored in a vinyl bag is held by cushioning material, and the cushioning material is placed in a box. A plurality of grooves are formed in a mutually parallel fashion on the lower and upper members of the cushioning material. The grooves form a supporting portion for supporting the edges of LCD modules that are fitted in the grooves. The depth of the grooves is slightly less than the width of the frame area of the LCD modules. An upwardly protruding convexity is formed in the area between the grooves and on both sides of the rows comprising the plurality of grooves. The convexity is a pop-out prevention portion for preventing LCD modules from popping out from the cushioning material during transport. Soiling can thereby be prevented from occurring on the display area of the display modules.
