Display device

A display device, comprising:

• a first substrate having a first region and a second region near to the first region;
• a second substrate disposed on the first region and having a lateral side, wherein the second substrate overlaps the first substrate on the first region, and the first region includes a display area;
• a plurality of drive ICs disposed on the second region and arranged in a line along the lateral side;
• a protection layer disposed enclosing, exposing, and forming a recess corresponding to at least one of plurality of drive ICs;
• wherein a length of the protection layer is identical to a length of the first substrate in the extending direction;
• and
• at least one flexible circuit board disposed on the second region and disposed correspondingly to the lateral side;
• wherein in a top view of the display device, each of the plurality of drive ICs does not overlap with the at least one flexible circuit board in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the lateral side and parallel to a top surface of the second substrate;
• and the at least one flexible circuit board is disposed between two adjacent ones of the plurality of drive ICs in the top view.
