Abstract

Flexible substrates are drawn from two terminals provided on a TFT substrate, respectively, and IC chips are mounted on both flexible substrates. Both flexible substrates are placed so that positions of the IC chips provided on both flexible substrates overlap with each other.

Claims (37)

1. An electro-optical apparatus including:

an electro-optical panel section having a first substrate formed with a circuit;

a plurality of flexible substrates drawn from an end portion of the first substra as to form a multilayered shape,

an IC chip fixed to the same position of each surface of the plurality of flexible substrates forming the multilayered shape, when the plurality of flexible substrates forming the multilayered shape is viewed in a stacking direction, and

a material filled in a position where the IC chip is placed between the flexible substrates,

wherein the IC chip supplies the electro-optical panel section with a driving signal, and

the material has thermal conductivity higher than air.

2. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of flexible substrates forming the multilayered shape is provided with a heat radiating material which covers a position where the respective electro-optical panel driving IC chips are placed in an overlapped manner, from the outside in the stacking direction.

3. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of flexible substrate modules is separately stacked in a transverse width direction of the electro-optical apparatus by multiple layers.

4. An electronic device including the electro-optical apparatus according to claim 1 .

5. A projection type display apparatus comprising:

a first flexible substrate that is electrically connected to the first terminal group;

a second flexible substrate that is electrically connected to the second terminal group, the second flexible substrate at least partially overlaps with the first flexible substrate when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the plane of the first substrate;

a first IC chip that is provided on a first surface of the first flexible substrate; and

a second IC chip that is provided on a second surface of the second flexible substrate and overlaps with the first IC chip when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the plane of the first substrate, and

a material filled in a position where the IC chip is placed between the superimposed flexible substrates,

wherein the IC chip supplies the electro-optical panel section with a driving signal, and

the material has thermal conductivity higher than air.

7. The electro-optical apparatus according to claim 6 ,
