Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of electrode pads which are arranged in a non-display region having a side line of a substrate; a circuit film which includes a plurality of output pads contacting the plurality of electrode pads and extending in a direction, and on which a driving IC is mounted; a plurality of test lines that extend in the direction from the side line; and a plurality of connection lines which connect the plurality of test lines to corresponding electrode pads, wherein each test line is located in a separate region between two output pads adjacent to both sides of each test line.

Claims (17)

1. A display device, comprising:

a plurality of electrode pads which are arranged in a first direction in a non-display region of a substrate;

a circuit film on which a driving integrated circuit (IC) is mounted, the circuit film including a plurality of output pads extending in the first direction;

a plurality of test lines that are arranged in the first direction and extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; and

a plurality of connection lines which connect the plurality of test lines to corresponding electrode pads,

wherein each of the plurality of test lines is extended to an end side of the substrate so that an end portion of the test line is exposed to outside through the end side of the substrate,

wherein the circuit film is attached to the non-display region of the substrate to contact each of the plurality of output pads of the circuit film to a corresponding electrode pad of the plurality of electrode pads, and

wherein each of the plurality of test lines is located in a separate region between two output pads of the circuit film respectively adjacent to both sides of each test line.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connection lines are formed using a first metal layer,

wherein an insulating layer is on the plurality of connection lines,

wherein the plurality of test lines include at least one test line which crosses connection lines other than a connection line connected to the at least one test line,

wherein the at least one test line includes a first portion formed using the first metal layer, and a second portion which is on the insulating layer and is formed using a second metal layer, and

wherein the second portion contacts the first portion at one end of the second portion, traverses the connection lines other than the connection line, and contacts the connection line corresponding to the at least on test line at another end of the second portion.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electrode pads includes a plurality of first electrode pads receiving data signals, and a plurality of second electrode pads receiving control signals and power voltages, and

wherein a switch is connected between each first electrode pad and a connection line corresponding to the first electrode pad.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of test lines does not overlap its adjacent output pad.

5. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a switch control line connected to a switch to transfer a switching signal.
