Abstract

A display device includes a circuit board connecting structure. The circuit board connecting structure includes a first circuit board, a soldering layer, and a second circuit board. The first circuit board includes a baseboard and a plurality of parallel elongate first electrodes defined at a predetermined area. The second circuit board includes a plurality of parallel elongate second electrodes positioned at the predetermined area. The second electrodes are electrically connected to the corresponding first electrodes via the soldering layer. A space defined by the projection of the second electrodes to the baseboard of the first circuit board is filled in by the soldering layer.
