Abstract

A circuit board including: a body part including a driving chip; a pad part including a plurality of pads connected to a plurality of lines, wherein the pad part extends in a first direction from the body part; and a line part including a first line of the lines, wherein the first line is electrically connected to the driving chip, the line part extends in the first direction from the body part, and the line part is bendable with respect to a bending line.

Claims (46)

1. A circuit board, comprising:

a body part including a driving chip;

a pad part including a plurality of pads connected to a plurality of lines, wherein the pad part extends in a first direction from the body part and a first long side of the pad part is disposed adjacent to and extends along a sidewall of the body part; and

a line part including a first line of the lines, wherein the first line is electrically connected to the driving chip, the line part extends in the first direction from the body part, and the line part is bendable with respect to a bending line,

wherein the first line comprises a first sub-line and a second sub-line, the first sub-line is disposed in the body part and the pad part, and the second sub-line is disposed in the body part and the line part,

wherein the pads comprise a first pad connected to the first line,

wherein the first pad comprises a first sub-pad and a second sub-pad, and

wherein the first sub-line extends from the body part to the pad part to connect the first sub-pad to the driving chip, and the second sub-line extends from the body part to the line part along a first short side of the pad part, along a second long side of the pad part opposite the first long side, along a second short side of the pad part opposite the first short side to the body part and to the pad part to connect the second sub-pad to the driving chip.

2. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the bending line is a boundary between the body part and the line part.

3. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the lines further comprise a second line, and the second line is disposed in the body part and does not overlap the first line.

4. The circuit board of claim 3 , wherein the pads comprise a second pad connected to the second line.

5. The circuit board of claim 4 , wherein the second pad is disposed between the first sub-pad and the second sub-pad.

6. The circuit board of claim 5 , wherein the line part comprises:

a first portion disposed adjacent to the second sub-pad;

a second portion disposed adjacent to the driving chip; and

a third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion.

7. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the pad part and the line part are spaced apart from each other.

8. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the second sub-line comprises at least one of a first sensing line and a second sensing line, which receive different electrical signals from each other.

9. The circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the line part comprises a shielding layer.

10. A circuit board, comprising:

a base substrate;

a driving chip disposed on the base substrate;

a plurality of signal pads disposed on the base substrate; and

a plurality of signal lines connecting the driving chip and the signal pads, the base substrate comprising:

a body part in which the driving chip is disposed;

a pad part in which the signal pads are disposed, the pad part extending in a first direction from the body part; and

a line part extending in the first direction from the body part and spaced apart from the pad part, the signal lines comprising:

a first line on the line part, wherein the first line is disposed on four sides of the pad part; and

a second line on the body part, wherein the line part is bendable.

11. The circuit board of claim 10 , wherein the base substrate comprises:

a first insulating layer comprising the pad part and the line part; and

a second insulating layer disposed on the first insulating layer, wherein the driving chip is disposed on the second insulating layer.

12. The circuit board of claim 10 , wherein the first line and the second line receive different electrical signals from each other and do not overlap each other.

13. A display device, comprising:

a display module comprising a display panel and an input sensing layer, wherein the display module includes a display part and a bending part bendable from the display part; and

a circuit board electrically coupled with the bending part, the circuit board comprising:

a body part including a driving chip;

a pad part including a plurality of pads bonded to the bending part, wherein the pad part extends toward the display panel from the body part; and

a line part including a first line electrically connecting a first pad of the pads to the driving chip,

wherein the line part extends in the same direction as the pad part, and the line part is spaced apart from the pad part and bendable with respect to a bending line, and

wherein the first line is disposed on at least three sides of the pad part.

14. The display device of claim 11 , wherein the first line comprises a first sensing line and a second sensing line, which are connected to the input sensing layer.

15. The display device of claim 13 , further comprising a second line connected to the display panel via a second pad of the pads, wherein the second line is disposed in the body part and does not overlap the first line.

16. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the display module further comprises a pixel driving chip disposed on a first surface of the bending part.

17. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the line part is bent and disposed on a second surface of the bending part, which is opposite to the first surface of the bending part.

18. The display device of claim 16 , wherein the line part comprises a shielding layer, and the line part is bent and disposed on the first surface of the bending part to overlap the pixel driving chip.
