Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes pixels each having an switching element, drain drivers and gate drivers for operating the switching elements and the pixels, and drain lines and gate lines supplying signals from the drain drivers and the gate drivers to the switching elements being formed on one of a pair of substrates sandwiching a liquid crystal layer. Wiring lines are formed on the one of a pair of substrates for transferring display data signals and a clock signal to the gate drivers.

Claims (28)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate comprising a plurality of gate lines extended in a first direction, a plurality of drain lines extended in a second direction across the first direction, and a plurality of pixels comprising switching elements respectively and arranged along the first direction and the second direction;

a plurality of drain driver circuits provided along a first edge of the substrate and each applying gray scale voltage signals to drain lines connected thereto respectively;

a plurality of gate driver circuits provided along a second edge of the substrate and applying a control signal to the gate lines;

a circuit board provided along the first edge of the substrate and comprising a drain driver power supply line for supplying power to the plurality of the drain driver circuits;

a plurality of pads electrically connected to the circuit board and formed at the first edge of the substrate, the plurality of pads including a drain driver power supply pad;

a plurality of bumps electrically connected to the pads and formed at the drain driver circuits; and

a plurality of lines formed on the substrate and extended toward the second edge from the first edge,

wherein the plurality of lines on the substrate comprises a first line for supplying the power to the gate driver circuits and a second line for supplying a scan clock signal to the gate driver circuits,

wherein the drain driver power supply pad electrically connects with a group of bumps of the plurality of bumps, and

wherein a width of the drain driver power supply pad is larger than a width of the group of bumps.

2. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the group of the bumps including bumps arranged in the first direction.

3. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein a third line among the plurality of lines on the substrate is connected to bumps.

4. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein a third line among the plurality of lines on the substrate is connected to a dummy bump.

5. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first line is provided outside of the second line.

6. A display device comprising:

a substrate comprising a plurality of gate lines extended in a first direction, a plurality of drain lines extended in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a plurality of pixels comprising switching elements respectively;

a plurality of drain driver circuits provided along a first edge of the substrate and applying gray scale voltage signals to the drain lines;

a plurality of gate driver circuits provided along a second edge of the substrate and applying a control signal to the gate lines;

a circuit board provided along the first edge of the substrate and comprising a drain driver signal supply line for supplying signals to the plurality of the drain driver circuits;

a plurality of pads electrically connected to the circuit board and formed at the first edge of the substrate, the plurality of pads including a drain driver power supply pad;

a plurality of bumps electrically connected to the pads and formed at the drain driver circuits; and

a plurality of lines formed on the substrate and extended toward the second edge from the first edge,

wherein the plurality of lines on the substrate comprises a first line for supplying a power signal to the gate driver circuits and a second line for supplying the control signal to the gate driver circuits, and

wherein the drain driver power supply pad electrically connects two rows of bumps of the plurality of bumps.

7. A display device according to claim 6 , wherein said two adjacent bumps are arranged in the first direction.

8. A display device according to claim 6 , wherein the second line is provided on the first edge of the substrate.

9. A display device according to claim 6 , wherein the second line connects to a dummy bump.
