COF board
A COF board includes an insulating layer, and a terminal portion formed on the insulating layer. The terminal portion includes a first lead extending in a longitudinal direction, and a second lead extending in the longitudinal direction, and having a smaller length in the longitudinal direction than a length of the first lead in the longitudinal direction. The first leads are arranged in spaced-apart relation in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The second leads are arranged in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to be interposed between the mutually adjacent first leads such that, when the mutually adjacent first leads are projected in an adjacent direction thereof, overlap portions where the second leads overlap with the first leads and non-overlap portions where the second leads do not overlap with the first leads are formed. Dummy leads are provided at the non-overlap portions.
1. A COF board comprising:
an insulating layer; and
a terminal portion formed on the insulating layer, and electrically connected to an electronic component, wherein
the terminal portion comprises a first lead extending in a longitudinal direction, and a second lead extending in the longitudinal direction, and having a length in the longitudinal direction smaller than a length of the first lead in the longitudinal direction,
a plurality of the first leads are arranged in spaced-apart relation in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction,
a plurality of the second leads are arranged in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to be interposed between the mutually adjacent first leads such that, when the mutually adjacent first leads are projected in an adjacent direction thereof, overlap portions where the second leads overlap with the first leads and non-overlap portions where the second leads do not overlap with the first leads are formed, and
dummy leads are provided at the non-overlap portions.
2. The COF board according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal portion is formed by electrolytic plating.
3. The COF board according to claim 1 , wherein a length of each of the dummy leads in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is smaller than or the same as a length of the second lead in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
4. The COF board according to claim 1 , wherein a length of each of the dummy leads in the longitudinal direction is larger than a spacing between the dummy lead and the second lead in the longitudinal direction.
