commonly adopts to package and protect a liquid crystal module
essentially comprises: attaching a protection film, packaging with
antistatic bag, and positioning in box. This process provides
protection means for glass surface that requires two packaging
materials, including a protection film and a bag. The protection
film is not sticky itself and must be fixed to the module by
assisting measures, such as adhesive tapes. Removal of the liquid
crystal module is necessarily done with a tedious and complicated
reverse process. It is troublesome and care must be exercised in
the removal process in order to avoid undesired damage to the
liquid crystal module. This is an extremely time-consuming process.
In addition, all the packaging materials used are generally for one
time use, making the expenditure very high.

with the protection film comprises a rectangular body having an
upper layer and a lower layer. The body has three sealed edges and
one open edge to thereby define an opening that receives deposition
of a display panel into the bag. The upper layer and the lower
layer both comprise a base layer made of a metal material, an
outside surface layer arranged on the base layer, and an inside
surface layer arranged on the outside surface layer. The inside
surface layer functions to contact the display panel and is made of
resin mixed with polyethylene. However, the bag that is combined
with protection film is not antistatic and also, the opening is
arranged so as not to provide excellent dust resistance and protect
the panel. Further, the panel may accidentally fall out of the bag
during the course of transportation, making the panel damaged.
