The protection member 30 may be configured to cover at least a portion of the display 10. The protection member 30 may be detachably coupled along an edge of the display 10. At least a portion of the protection member 30 may be covered by a packaging material 40.
The protection member 30 may include a cover protection member 31, a mounting part protection member 33, and a support protection member 35.
The cover protection member 31 may be configured to cover the upper end portion of the display 10. The cover protection member 31 may be configured to accommodate a portion of the stand 20. The cover protection member 31 may accommodate the first part 21 of the stand 20. The cover protection member 31 may be formed to cover the upper end portion of the front surface and the upper end portion of the rear surface of the display 10.
The mounting part protection member 33 may be configured to cover a portion of the lower end portion of the display 10. The mounting part protection member 33 may be configured to cover a portion of the display 10 on which the stand 20 is mounted. The mounting part protection member 33 may be detachably coupled to a portion of the display 10 on which the stand 20 is mounted. The mounting part protection member 33 may be formed to cover a portion of the lower end portion of the rear surface of the display 10. Accordingly, when the mounting part protection member 33 is separated from the display 10, the mounting part protection member 33 may be separated from the display 10 in a state in which the display 10 is not lifted.
The support protection member 35 may be detachably coupled to a portion of the lower end portion of the display 10. The support protection members 35 may be disposed on opposite sides of the mounting part protection member 33, respectively.
