Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal display panel having a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines crossing each other; a data drive circuit which supplies data voltages to the data lines; a gate drive circuit which supplies scan pulses to the gate lines; and first dummy pads on a substrate of the liquid crystal display panel at both sides of the data drive circuit, and wherein the data drive circuit is joined onto the substrate with a first anisotropic conductive film and both sides of the first anisotropic conductive film are joined to the first dummy pads.

Claims (21)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel having a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines which cross each other;

a data drive circuit which supplies data voltages to the data lines;

a data pad lower electrode connected to the data line;

a gate drive circuit which supplies scan pulses to the gate lines;

a gate pad lower electrode connected to the gate line;

a passivation film having a contact hole exposed the data pad lower electrode and the gate pad lower electrode; and

first dummy pads which are disposed on a substrate of the liquid crystal display panel at both sides of the data drive circuit, and

wherein the data drive circuit is joined onto the substrate with a first anisotropic conductive film and both sides of the first anisotropic conductive film are joined to the first dummy pads,

wherein a height of the first dummy pad is not less than a height of the first anisotropic conductive film,

wherein a width of the first dummy pad is the same widths of a input and output pads of the gate and data drive circuit,

wherein a pitch between the first dummy pad is the same pitches of the input and output pads of the gate and data drive circuit,

wherein the first dummy pad is formed of the same metal as the data line and a semiconductor pattern,

wherein the semiconductor pattern include a active layer and an ohmic contact layer,

wherein a terminal part of first dummy pad is protruded to the outside of the first anisotropic conductive film,

wherein the passivation film is completely removed from the first dummy pad.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

second dummy pads which are disposed on the substrate of the liquid crystal display panel at both sides of the gate drive circuit, and

wherein the gate drive circuit is joined onto the substrate with a second anisotropic conductive film and both sides of the second anisotropic conductive film are joined to the second dummy pads.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the second dummy pads include the same metal as the data line.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the second dummy pads include at least any one of molybdenum Mo, titanium Ti and tantalum Ta.
