It is rotatably held to the left and right. When the right side plate 6 is closed, the upper end thereof is arranged so as to overlap the long side of the frame 1, and the widths of the upper end and the lower end are narrowed from the right side of the right side plate 6 to the left side. The right side plate 6 is designed so that when it is opened, the pin 6b at the upper right side end fits into a hole (not shown) provided at the right end of the top plate 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes a spring which acts on the right side plate 6 in a closing direction, and is attached between the right upper end of the right side plate 6 and the frame 1.

The operation of the screen protector configured as described above will be described below.

First, when the portable liquid crystal television is not used,
As shown in FIG. 2, first, the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 6 are closed, the top plate 2 is closed from above, and the frame 1 is attached to the front cabinet 8 of the portable liquid crystal television so as to cover up the liquid crystal screen.
Can be used as a screen protector. In FIG. 2, 9 is a rear cabinet.

On the other hand, when the portable liquid crystal television is used outdoors, as shown in FIG. 3, the top plate 2, the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 6 are opened and the left side plate 4 and the right side plate 6 are provided with pins 4b.
