Mounting film for liquid crystal display drive chip and method for manufacturing the same

A mounting film for a liquid crystal drive chip, having a substantial rectangular shape with a pair of opposite longitudinal edges and a pair of opposite latitudinal edges, the film comprising:

• a pair of opposite interface regions located near to the opposite longitudinal edges, respectively;
• a region for mounting on the liquid crystal drive chip;
• and
• a wiring region for electrically connecting the liquid crystal drive chip and the interface regions;
• wherein a pair of slits or weakened lines are provided at the opposite latitudinal edges respectively and outside of the interface regions and the wiring region, an extending direction of the slits or weakened lines is substantially parallel to the longitudinal edges, and wherein when applying a moderate force on the film along a longitudinal direction, a length of the film in the longitudinal direction is variable due to the opening of the slits or the weakened lines being broken to form the slits.
