Abstract
According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal module includes a transmissive liquid crystal cell, a light source device, a light guide plate and a frame. The light source device includes a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in a row on a board. The light guide plate includes a light incidence surface on which light emitted from the light source device enters and a light exit surface from which light that has entered the light guide plate through the light incidence surface is output. The frame is configured to hold a peripheral portion of the liquid crystal cell and the light source device and to comprise a first projection projecting from a position close to the light source device toward the light guide plate.
