Flexible circuit board and display device including the same

A flexible circuit board comprising:

• a base film comprising a bending area;
• and
• a plurality of signal wires located over the bending area of the base film and extending between two pad portions on opposite ends of the base film in a second direction,
• wherein a pair of through-holes are in the base film and between the two pad portions,
• wherein the pair of through-holes are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the bending area in the second direction,
• wherein each of the pair of through-holes is outside of the bending area, and
• wherein the plurality of signal wires is arranged on both sides of the pair of through-holes in a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction.

A display device comprising:

• a camera configured to capture external images;
• a display panel configured to display an image;
• a first flexible circuit board having a first end electrically connected to the display panel and a second end opposite the first end, the first flexible circuit board having a first through-hole overlapping a bending area of the first flexible circuit board;
• and
• a driving circuit substrate electrically connected to the second end of the first flexible circuit board, the driving circuit substrate being configured to drive the display panel,
• wherein when the first flexible circuit board is bent, a portion of the camera overlaps with the first through-hole in the bending area of the first flexible circuit board,
• wherein the first flexible circuit board is bent around the bending area so that the driving circuit substrate and the display panel face each other, and
• wherein the driving circuit substrate comprises a driving circuit configured to generate electrical signals to drive the display panel.
