Abstract

A display device includes a substrate having plural signal lines extending in one direction and arranged in parallel in a direction intersecting the one direction, terminals connected to respective ones of the signal lines, and a semiconductor chip mounted on the substrate. The semiconductor chip has plural bumps connected to corresponding terminals through an anisotropic conductive layer. The terminals include a first group of terminals arranged at an image display region side and a second group of terminals arranged at a side remote from the image display region. An area of a respective terminal of the second group is larger than an area of a respective terminal of first group.

Claims (18)

1. A display device including:

a substrate having plural signal lines extending in one direction and arranged in parallel in a direction intersecting the one direction;

terminals connected to respective ones of the signal lines; and

a semiconductor chip mounted on the substrate;

wherein the semiconductor chip has plural output bumps connected to corresponding ones of the terminals through an anisotropic conductive layer, the output bumps include a first group of output bumps which are arranged at a side close to an end portion of the semiconductor chip and a second group of the output bumps which are arranged at a side remote from the end portion of the semiconductor chip; and

wherein the terminals include a first group of terminals arranged at an image display region side and a second group of terminals arranged remote from the image display region side, the first group of terminals connect the first group of output bumps, and the second group of terminals connect the second group of output bumps, an area of a respective terminal of the second group being larger than an area of a respective terminal of the first group.

2. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the terminals of the first group and the terminals of the second group are arranged in a staggered manner.

3. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the terminals of the second group is set larger than a width of the terminals of the first group.

4. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the terminals of the second group is set larger than a length of the terminals of the first group.

5. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image display region includes plural pixels, the pixel is surrounded by gate signal lines extended in the X direction and arranged in parallel in the Y direction and drain signal lines extended in the Y direction and arranged in parallel in the X direction,

the pixel includes switching elements which are operated in response to scanning signals from one-side gate signal lines and pixel electrodes to which video signal are supplied from one-side drain signal lines through the switching elements on the pixel regions,

the signal lines are formed of at least the gate signal lines, and

the semiconductor chip includes a scanning signal driving circuit.

6. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the image display region includes plural pixels, the pixel is surrounded by gate signal lines extended in the X direction and arranged in parallel in the Y direction and drain signal lines extended in the Y direction and arranged in parallel in the X direction,

the pixel includes switching elements which are operated in response to scanning signals from one-side gate signal lines and pixel electrodes to which video signal are supplied from one-side drain signal lines through the switching elements on the pixel regions,

the signal lines are formed of at least the drain signal lines, and

the semiconductor chip includes a video signal driving circuit.

7. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plural signal lines to which the first and second group of terminals are connected extend in the image display region.
