Abstract

An exemplary liquid crystal panel includes a display region, and a bonding region adjacent to the display region. The bonding region includes a plurality of conductive terminals, a plurality of conductive fingers respectively provided generally opposite to the conductive terminals, and a plurality of substantially straight conductive leads respectively interconnecting the conductive terminals and the conductive fingers. A distribution of the conductive terminals is nonuniform. A first plurality of the plurality of conductive fingers have different widths from a second plurality of the plurality of conductive fingers. The conductive leads are substantially parallel to each other. A liquid crystal display employing the liquid crystal panel is also provided.
