Flexible substrate
According to one embodiment, a flexible substrate includes flexible insulating base material, conductive lines, a support body and a coating layer. The conductive lines are provided on the insulating base material. The support body supports the insulating base material. The coating layer covers the insulating base material and the support body. The conductive lines include scanning lines and signal lines. The scanning lines extend in a first direction and are arranged side by side in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The signal lines extend in the second direction and are arranged side by side in the first direction. The support body and the coating layer have a through hole in a region enclosed by two adjacent scanning lines and two adjacent signal lines.
1. A flexible substrate comprising:
a flexible insulating base material;
conductive lines provided on the insulating base material;
a support body that supports the insulating base material; and
a coating layer that covers the insulating base material and the support body, wherein
the conductive lines include:
scanning lines extending in a first direction and arranged side by side in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and
signal lines extending in the second direction and arranged side by side in the first direction, and
the support body and the coating layer have a through hole in a region enclosed by two adjacent scanning lines and two adjacent signal lines.
2. A flexible substrate of claim 1 , wherein the insulating base material includes a line portion overlapping the conductive line and an island-shaped portion disposed between the line portions.
3. A flexible substrate of claim 2 , wherein
the line portion includes:
a first line portion that includes the scanning line, extends in the first direction, and is arranged side by side in the second direction, and
a second line portion that includes the signal line, extends in the second direction, and is arranged side by side in the first direction, and
the line portion is formed in a curved shape between the island-shaped portions.
4. A flexible substrate of claim 3 , wherein
the coating layer covers the support body in a region between the first line portion and the through hole, and
a length along the second direction between the first line portion and the through hole is equal to or longer than twice a length of the first line portion along the second direction.
5. A flexible substrate of claim 3 , wherein
the coating layer covers the support body in a region between the second line portion and the through hole, and
a length along the first direction between the second line portion and the through hole is equal to or longer than twice a length of the second line portion along the first direction.
6. A flexible substrate of claim 1 , wherein the through hole is provided in numbers in a region enclosed by the two adjacent scanning lines and the two adjacent signal lines.
7. A flexible substrate of claim 1 , wherein the through hole is provided in all of the regions enclosed by the two adjacent scanning lines and the two adjacent signal lines.
8. A flexible substrate of claim 1 , wherein the through hole is not provided in all of the regions enclosed by the two adjacent scanning lines and the two adjacent signal lines.
9. A flexible substrate of claim 8 , wherein, among the regions enclosed by the two adjacent scanning lines and the two adjacent signal lines, the through hole is not provided in a region that corresponds to an area where curvature is large on a curved surface to which the flexible substrate is attached.
