Abstract
A frame region of one of the display units (i) includes a terminal portion provided with terminals whose terminal surfaces are flush with a display surface, and (ii) is bent to allow the terminal surface of the terminal portion to be oriented to the opposite side of the display surface. A frame region of the other one of the display units includes a terminal portion provided with a terminals whose terminal surfaces are flush with a display surface. The terminal portions of the two display units are bonded to each other to allow the two terminals to be electrically connected to each other.
Claims20
A display device comprising:
- a plurality of display bodies coupled to one another, each of the display bodies including a display region having a display surface oriented in a first direction,
- wherein each of the display bodies includes the display region and a frame region surrounding the display region,
- the display bodies include a first display body and a second display body,
- (i) the frame region of the first display body includes a first terminal portion including a plurality of first terminals formed therein, each of the first terminals having a terminal surface flush with the display surface, and (ii) in the frame region of the first display body, the terminal surface of the first terminal portion is bent towards a second direction, which is opposite the first direction,
- the frame region of the second display body includes a second terminal portion including a plurality of second terminals formed therein, each of the second terminals having a terminal surface flush with the display surface,
- the first terminal portion of the first display body is bonded to the second terminal portion of the second display body to allow each of the first terminals to be electrically connected to the corresponding one of the second terminals.
A method for manufacturing a display device comprising:
- coupling a plurality of display bodies to each other to allow a display surface of a display region to be oriented towards a first direction,
- each of the display bodies including the display region and a frame region surrounding the display region,
- each of the display bodies including a first display body and a second display body,
- the frame region of the first display body including a first terminal portion where a plurality of first terminals have their respective terminal surfaces flush with the display surface, and
- the frame region of the second display body including a second terminal portion where a plurality of second terminals have their respective terminal surfaces flush with the display surface,
- wherein the coupling includes
- a first bending step for bending a frame region of the first display body to allow a terminal surface of the first terminal portion to be oriented towards a second direction, the opposite direction to the first direction, and
- a first bonding step for bonding the first terminal portion of the first display body to the second terminal portion of the second display body to allow each of the first terminals to be electrically connected to the corresponding one of the second terminals.
