1. A liquid crystal display device used in a hand-held electronic device comprising:
- a first substrate comprising a TFT;
a second substrate bonded to the first substrate;
the first substrate and the second substrate being bonded by a sealing material;
liquid crystal material held between the first substrate and the second substrate;
an upper polarizing plate fixed to the second substrate;
a protective member, which is a member separate from the upper polarizing plate, disposed over the upper polarizing plate; and
an adhesive member disposed between the protective member and the upper polarizing plate and without an air layer between the protective member and the upper polarizing plate;
wherein the protective member is a protective cover of the hand-held electronic device; and
wherein the sealing material and the protective member overlap in plan view.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a liquid crystal display device having a first substrate, a second substrate bonded to the first substrate, with liquid crystal material held between the first substrate and the second substrate, and an upper polarizing plate affixed to the second substrate. A protective member is disposed over the upper polarizing plate, and an adhesive member is disposed between the protective member and the upper polarizing plate without an air layer between the protective member and the upper polarizing plate. The protective member is configured as a protective cover of the electronic device.
