Abstract
A liquid crystal module includes a liquid crystal panel and a support member configured to be contained in a mother device and to which the liquid crystal panel is mounted. A protection plate having protection function for the surface of the liquid crystal panel is attached to the support member, so that the protection plate, the liquid crystal panel, and the support member are made into a unitary block. Thus, it is possible to configure a liquid crystal module such that the protection plate has an additional function other than the protection of the liquid crystal panel.
