Abstract

A liquid crystal display device of the present invention comprises a liquid crystal display panel ( 1 ) provided with one or more electrode terminals (R 1 ) to (R n ) and a pair of reference markers (N 1 ) on a non-display region ( 3 ) thereof, a flexible printed circuit board (FPC 1 ) provided with alignment markers (M 2 ) corresponding to the reference markers, and a printed circuit board (PCB 1 ) having one or more electrode terminals (T 1 ) to (T n ), the reference markers being located inward relative to the alignment markers and the electrode terminals of the liquid crystal display panel and the electrode terminals of the printed circuit board being connected to each other through wiring (P 1 ) to (P n ) of the flexible printed circuit board, wherein the alignment markers are elongated holes having long axes at least in one direction.

Claims (13)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel provided with one or more electrode terminals and a pair of reference markers on a non-display region thereof;

a flexible printed circuit board provided with alignment markers corresponding to the reference markers; and

a printed circuit board having one or more electrode terminals, the reference markers being located inward relative to the alignment markers and the electrode terminals of the liquid crystal display panel and the electrode terminals of the printed circuit board being connected to each other through wiring of the flexible printed circuit board,

wherein the alignment markers are elongated holes having long axes at least in one direction, and

wherein the alignment markers are disposed such that the long axes thereof are perpendicular to one of axes of the electrode terminal of the liquid crystal display panel.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers are disposed such that the long axes thereof are parallel to each other.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers are disposed such that the long axes thereof are aligned.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers each has at least a pair of straight-line portions parallel to the long axes thereof.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers are rectangular elongated holes.

6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers are parallelogram-shaped elongated holes.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers are elliptical shaped elongated holes.

8. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment markers are lozenge-shaped elongated holes.
