Abstract
On a projecting portion projecting from a first connecting portion to be connected to a liquid crystal panel of an FPC, a second connecting portion is provided in a projecting state like a free end to the liquid crystal panel side at a position spaced from the first connecting portion. By folding-back the projecting portion to the back side of the liquid crystal panel, the second connecting portion projects to the opposite side of the liquid crystal panel, so that the liquid crystal panel and an external circuit can be connected to each other without applying an excessively great stress to the FPC.
