Abstract

An electro-optical device including an electro-optical panel, a flexible base member connected to the electro-optical panel, and an electronic component mounted on the flexible base member. The electronic component having conductive terminals electrically connected to a plurality of terminals disposed on the flexible base member, the plurality of terminals are disposed on one surface of the flexible base member, and the conductive terminals and the plurality of terminals two-dimensionally overlap each other. The flexible base member has first wires which are connected to the plurality of terminals and disposed on the one surface, hole portions formed in the flexible base member to correspond to at least one terminal, and second wires connected to the at least one terminal through connection members disposed in the hole portions and disposed on the other surface of the flexible base member opposite to the one surface.

Claims (10)

1. An electro-optical device comprising:

an electro-optical panel;

a flexible base member connected to the electro-optical panel, the flexible base member including first and second hole portions at positions separated from each other;

a terminal on one surface of the flexible base member;

a first wire disposed on the one surface of the flexible base member and connected to the terminal;

first and second connection members disposed in the first and second hole portions, respectively, in the flexible base member;

a second wire disposed on an other surface of the flexible base member opposite to the one surface of the flexible base member, the second wire being connected to the terminal through the first connection member and being connected to the first wire through the second connection member; and

an electronic component mounted on the flexible base member, the electronic component having a conductive terminal electrically connected to the terminal on the flexible base member, the conductive terminal of the electronic component two-dimensionally overlapping with the terminal on the flexible base member and also the first connection member in the flexible base member.

2. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive terminals of the electronic component are solder balls.

3. The electro-optical device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of terminals disposed in a lattice shape on the flexible base member and the terminal on the flexible base member is disposed at a corner of the lattice shape.
