Abstract

A flat display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate adhered to the first substrate. The first substrate has a display region, and a peripheral region located on at least one side of the first substrate. The peripheral region includes a driving IC connection region. The second substrate has a main region corresponding to and covering the display region of the first substrate, and at least one extension region protruding from the main region and covering a portion of the peripheral region.

Claims (13)

1. A flat display panel, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a display region and a peripheral region located on at least one side of the first substrate, the peripheral region comprising at least one driving IC connection region;

a second substrate adhered to the first substrate, having an indentation portion facing to the driving IC connection region; and

a driving IC disposed in the driving IC connection region, wherein the driving IC is located inside the indentation portion of the second substrate;

wherein the driving IC connection region of the peripheral region is not covered with the second substrate.

2. The flat display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate comprising a main region corresponding to and covering the display region of the first substrate, and at least one extension region protruding from the main region of the second substrate and covering a portion of the peripheral region.

3. The flat display panel of claim 2 , wherein an included angle is formed between a side of the protrusion and a side of the main region.

4. The flat display panel of claim 3 , wherein the included angle is substantially a right angle.

5. The flat display panel of claim 2 , wherein a side of chamfer is formed between a side of the protrusion and a side of the main region.

6. The flat display panel of claim 2 , wherein a fillet is formed between a side of the protrusion and a side of the main region.

7. The flat display panel of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate comprises a glass substrate.

8. The flat display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate comprises a glass substrate.

9. The flat display panel of claim 1 , wherein the flat display panel comprises a liquid crystal display panel, an organic electroluminescent display panel, or a plasma display panel.
