Abstract

A flexible circuit board includes a base substrate, a driving chip, an input transmission line, an output transmission line and a connecting transmission line. The driving chip is on a surface of the base substrate. The input transmission line is on the surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to an input terminal of the driving chip. The output transmission line is on the surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to an output terminal of the driving chip. The input transmission line is electrically connected to the output transmission line through the connecting transmission line.

Claims (19)

1. A flexible circuit board comprising:

a base substrate;

a driving chip disposed on a first surface of the base substrate;

an input transmission line on the first surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to an input terminal of the driving chip;

an output transmission line on the first surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to an output terminal of the driving chip; and

a connecting transmission line through which the input transmission line is electrically connected to the output transmission line, the connecting transmission line being disposed in a region corresponding to the driving chip,

wherein the connecting transmission line has a lower resistance than an internal line of the driving chip through which the input terminal of the driving chip is electrically connected to the output terminal of the driving chip.

2. The flexible circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the connecting transmission line is on the first surface of the base substrate.

3. The flexible circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the connecting transmission line is on a second surface of the base substrate opposite to the first surface.

4. The flexible circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising a gate transmission line on the first surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to a gate terminal of the driving chip.

5. The flexible circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising a protecting layer covering the input transmission line and the output transmission line and protecting the input transmission line and the output transmission line.

6. The flexible circuit board of claim 5 , wherein the protecting layer includes an opening in a region corresponding to the driving chip.

7. The flexible circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising an internal pad disposed on the first surface of the base substrate, the internal pad being soldered with a connecting terminal of the driving chip and fixing the driving chip to the first surface of the base substrate.

8. The flexible circuit board of claim 7 , further comprising a protecting layer covering the input transmission line, the output transmission line and the connecting transmission line, the protecting layer including an opening in a region corresponding to the internal pad.

9. The flexible circuit board of claim 7 , wherein the internal pad comprises:

an input internal pad electrically connected to the input transmission line; and

an output internal pad electrically connected to the output transmission line.

10. The flexible circuit board of claim 9 , wherein the input internal pad is electrically connected to the output internal pad through the connecting transmission line.

11. The flexible circuit board of claim 1 , wherein a resistance of the connecting transmission line is about 0.01Ω to about 1Ω.
