Abstract: A liquid crystal module provides for concave shaped recesses formed in an elastic member along the circumference of a linear light source that is arranged on the side of a light guide, and lamp holders attached to both ends of the linear light source, while ring-shaped hard members are engaged with the recesses. Thus, the hard members serve as a grip against an impact applied to the linear light source, and the linear light source is prevented from being damaged. Accordingly, a sidelight-type liquid crystal module with a liquid crystal panel is thereby obtained, in which the damage to the linear light source (when an impact, or the like, is applied to the liquid crystal panel) is prevented by simple means without affecting the quality of light that is emitted toward the liquid crystal panel.
