Abstract
A display device includes a display panel having a first area and a second area that is adjacent to the first area in a first direction, a first printed circuit board including a first body part facing the first area in a second direction that is different from the first direction and a first extension part extending from the first body part, a second printed circuit board including a second body part facing the second area in the second direction and a second extension part extending from the second body part and facing the first extension part in the second direction, and a connecting flexible circuit board having one end connected to the first extension part and the other end connected to the second extension part.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a display panel on which a first area and a second area adjacent to the first area in a first direction are defined;
- a first printed circuit board comprising:
- a first body part facing the first area in a second direction, which is different from the first direction;
- and
- a first extension part extending from the first body part;
- a second printed circuit board comprising:
- a second body part facing the second area in the second direction;
- and
- a second extension part extending from the second body part and facing the first extension part in the second direction;
- and
- a connecting flexible circuit board connected to the first extension part and the second extending part,
- wherein an end portion of the connecting flexible circuit board is connected to the first extension part and an opposing end portion of the connecting flexible circuit board is connected to the second extension part, and
- wherein the first extension part and the second extension part overlap and are spaced apart from each other in the second direction.
A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:
- providing first and second printed circuit boards in a way such that a first extension part of the first printed circuit board faces a second extension part of the second printed circuit board in one direction, wherein the first extension part and the second extension part overlap and are spaced apart from each other in the one direction;
- first connecting a first connection pad part disposed on the first extension part to an end portion of a connecting flexible circuit board;
- second connecting a second connection pad part disposed on the second extension part to an opposing end portion of the connecting flexible circuit board;
- third connecting a first output pad part disposed on a first body part of the first printed circuit board to an end portion of a first output flexible circuit board;
- providing the display panel in a way such that the first body part faces a first area of a display panel in the one direction, and a second body part of the second printed circuit board faces a second area of the display panel in the one direction;
- and
- fourth connecting the first output pad part to the first area.
A display device comprising:
- a display panel on which a first area and a second area adjacent to the first area in one direction are defined;
- a first output flexible circuit board including a first end portion connected to the first area;
- a second output flexible circuit board including a first end portion connected to the second area;
- a first printed circuit board comprising:
- a plurality of first output pad parts connected to a second end portion of the first output flexible circuit board and arranged in the one direction, wherein the second end portion of the first output flexible circuit is opposite to the first end portion of the first output flexible circuit;
- and
- a plurality of first connection pad parts arranged in the one direction;
- a second printed circuit board comprising:
- a plurality of second output pad parts connected to a second end portion of the second output flexible circuit board and arranged in the one direction, wherein the second end portion of the second output flexible circuit is opposite to the first end portion of the second output flexible circuit;
- and
- a plurality of second connection pad parts;
- and
- a connecting flexible circuit board which connects the first and second connection pad parts to each other,
- wherein a portion of the first printed circuit board and the first connection pad parts form a first extension toward the second printed circuit board;
- wherein a portion of the second printed circuit board and the second connection pad parts form a second extension toward the first printed circuit board;
- and
- wherein the first extension and the second extension overlap and are spaced apart from each other in a second direction.
