Abstract
This suppresses the impact on the guideline caused by the bending of the flexible member due to impact. [Solution] The watch module 3 of the wristwatch comprises a dial 7, a hands 12 that move above the dial 7, a flexible liquid crystal panel 9, and a reinforcing plate 8 positioned between the dial 7 and the liquid crystal panel 9, which is more rigid than the dial 7. As a result, for example, if the watch falls to the floor or the like with the hands 12 in the downward position, the impact will cause the liquid crystal panel 9 to bend towards the hands 12, and the bending of the liquid crystal panel 9 will be suppressed by the reinforcing plate 8. This prevents the dial 7 from being pushed by the bent liquid crystal panel 8 and hitting the hands 12.
