Abstract: A modularized large-sized carrier includes at least two body modules, at least one hermetic seal component and a back board. The body modules are connected to each other peripherally and arranged in a depth direction. The hermetic seal component surrounds junctions of the body modules. The back board is disposed behind the last one of the body modules. The modularized large-sized carrier overcomes existing carrier size limitations otherwise caused by injection molding machines and continuously expands in the depth direction to thereby enlarge the airtight storage space of the carrier.
