Abstract

A flexible printed circuit board has a length extending in an arrangement direction of light emitting parts and a width extending in a direction orthogonal to the length. Each light emitting part includes electrodes on both end portions thereof respectively along the arrangement direction of the light emitting parts. The flexible printed circuit board includes a wiring pattern. The wiring pattern includes bonding portions where the light emitting part is bonded to the electrodes, and a wiring portion which is arranged between the light emitting parts arranged adjacent to each other. A fixing region portion of the wiring pattern which is positioned in a region where the bonding portion of the flexible printed circuit board is formed and a region displaced from the bonding portion in the width direction is larger than the wiring portion in the width direction.

Claims (24)

1 . A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a plurality of light emitting parts which are arranged in at least one row; and

a flexible printed circuit board on which the plurality of light emitting parts are mounted, the flexible printed circuit board having a length extending in an arrangement direction of the plurality of light emitting parts and a width extending in a direction orthogonal to the length; wherein

each light emitting part includes electrodes on both end portions thereof along the arrangement direction of the plurality of light emitting parts in at least one row,

the flexible printed circuit board includes a wiring pattern which is electrically connected to the electrodes of each light emitting part,

the wiring pattern includes bonding portions where the light emitting part is bonded to the electrodes, and a wiring portion which is continuously formed in a length direction in a first region which includes a region formed between the light emitting parts arranged adjacent to each other and between the bonding portions arranged adjacent to each other, and a region displaced from the region in a width direction,

a fixing region portion of the wiring pattern which is positioned in a second region including a region where the bonding portion of the flexible printed circuit board is formed and a region displaced from the bonding portion in the width direction is larger than the wiring portion in the width direction.

2 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board is a laminated substrate and the wiring pattern is constituted of a plurality of wiring layers,

at least one of the wiring layers includes the fixing region portion,

at least one of the wiring layers includes the wiring portion, and

a total length of the fixing region portion of at least one of the wiring layers in the width direction is larger than a total length of the wiring portion of at least one of the wiring layers in the width direction.

3 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the wiring pattern includes an overlapping portion which overlaps with the each light emitting part, and

the overlapping portion has a larger area than the wiring portion.

4 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the wiring pattern includes an overlapping portion which overlaps with the each light emitting part,

the overlapping portion has a larger area than the wiring portion,

at least one of the wiring layers includes the overlapping portion,

at least one of the wiring layers includes the wiring portion, and

a total area of the overlapping portion of at least one of the wiring layers is larger than a total area of the wiring portion of at least one of the wiring layers.

5 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode of the light emitting part is bonded to the bonding portion by soldering.

6 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board has a cutout portion at a position displaced from the wiring portion in the width direction.

7 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board includes a plurality of insulation films laminated to each other, and

at least one of the insulation films has a cutout portion at a position displaced from the wiring portion in the width direction.

8 . The liquid crystal display device according to claim 7 , wherein at least one of the insulation films other than the at least one of the insulation films which has the cutout portion is cut in the width direction.
