Abstract
A liquid crystal display having dummy pads that are capable of fortifying a bonding force between a tape carrier package and a liquid crystal panel. In the liquid crystal display, the tape carrier package has first and second dummy pads to which signals are not applied. The first dummy pad has a larger width than the second dummy pad. The liquid crystal panel has third and fourth dummy pads corresponding to the first and second dummy pads, respectively.
Claims9
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a tape carrier package including first and second dummy pads to which no signals are applied, the first dummy pad having a larger width than the second dummy pad;
- and
- a liquid crystal panel including third and fourth dummy pads corresponding to the first and second dummy pads, respectively.
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a tape carrier package including a plurality of output pads for outputting signals from an integrated circuit and at least one first dummy pad to which signals are not applied, the at least one first dummy pad having a width different from a width of the output pads;
- and
- a liquid crystal panel including at least one second dummy pad corresponding to said first dummy pad.
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display comprising the steps of:
- providing a liquid crystal panel;
- forming a plurality of signal pads on the liquid crystal panel;
- forming at least one dummy pad on the liquid crystal panel;
- providing a tape carrier package;
- forming a plurality of signal pads on the tape carrier package;
- and
- forming at least one dummy pad on the tape carrier package;
- wherein each dummy pad has a width greater than a width of at least one signal pad.
