Abstract

A circuit board includes a base substrate, and a connection structure disposed on the base substrate, and connected to the base substrate by an accessing part. The connection structure includes a first connection electrode, a second connection electrode disposed in a same layer as the first connection electrode, a third connection electrode connected to the first connection electrode on the first connection electrode, and a fourth connection electrode connected to the second connection electrode on the second connection electrode, and disposed in a same layer as the third connection electrode.

Claims (51)

1. A circuit board comprising:

a base substrate separate from and configured to connect to a display panel; and

a connection structure disposed on the base substrate, and connected to the base substrate by an accessing part, the connection structure including:

a first connection electrode disposed in a first layer;

a second connection electrode disposed in the first layer;

a third connection electrode connected to the first connection electrode and disposed on the first connection electrode, and disposed in a second layer;

a fourth connection electrode connected to the second connection electrode and disposed on the second connection electrode, and disposed in the second layer, and

a signal electrode disposed in the first layer,

wherein the signal electrode is connected to a signal line, which transmits a signal from the base substrate to the display panel to display an image on the display panel,

wherein the display panel includes a touch sensing layer disposed thereon,

wherein the touch sensing layer is connected to the first connection electrode by a first touch line, and is connected to the second connection electrode by a second touch line, and

wherein at least one of the first touch line and the second touch line includes a resistance value increasing portion, and the resistance value increasing portion has a meander shape.

2. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the accessing part is connected to the base substrate by a surface mount technology.

3. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the accessing part is connected to the base substrate by a solder.

4. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the accessing part is connected to the base substrate by a connector.

5. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the accessing part is connected to the base substrate by an anisotropic conductive film.

6. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the connection structure further includes:

a fifth connection electrode disposed in the first layer; and

a sixth connection electrode connected to the fifth connection electrode on the fifth connection electrode.

7. The circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising:

a touch driver disposed on the connection structure and connected to the connection structure.

8. The circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising:

a touch driver disposed on the base substrate and connected to the connection structure.

9. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the connection structure further includes a shielding layer disposed between a layer on which the first connection electrode and the second connection electrode are disposed and a layer on which the third connection electrode and the fourth connection electrode are disposed.

10. A display device comprising:

a display structure; and

a circuit board separate from and connected to the display structure, the circuit board including:

a base substrate; and

a connection structure disposed on the base substrate, and connected to the base substrate by an accessing part, the connection structure including:

a first connection electrode disposed in a first layer;

a second connection electrode disposed in the first layer;

a third connection electrode connected to the first connection electrode and disposed on the first connection electrode, and disposed in a second layer;

a fourth connection electrode connected to the second connection electrode and disposed on the second connection electrode, and disposed in the second layer, and

a signal electrode disposed in the first layer,

wherein the signal electrode is connected to the display structure to display an image,

wherein the display structure further includes:

a display panel disposed on the display substrate; and

a touch sensing layer disposed on the display panel, and including a sensor electrode,

wherein the touch sensing layer is connected to the first connection electrode by a first touch line, and is connected to the second connection electrode by a second touch line, and

wherein at least one of the first touch line and the second touch line includes a resistance value increasing portion, and the resistance value increasing portion has a meander shape.

11. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the connection structure further includes:

a fifth connection electrode disposed in the same first layer; and

a sixth connection electrode connected to the fifth connection electrode on the fifth connection electrode.

12. The display device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a central processor connected to the circuit board, and

wherein the central processor is connected to the fifth connection electrode by a touch line.

13. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the accessing part is connected to the base substrate by a surface mount technology.

14. The display device of claim 10 , wherein the accessing part is connected to the base substrate by a solder.
