Abstract

A display panel includes a bonded substrate which is bonded with a seal portion having an inlet portion, in which an inlet of a fluid is formed, a sealing material which seals the inlet, metal film patterns which are provided in an end portion of the bonded substrate, and external connection terminals which respectively have rectangular base portions and are provided in parallel in a transverse direction of the base portion. Each metal film pattern has a rectangular pattern base portion. The metal film patterns are provided in parallel such that the center position of the pattern base portion in the transverse direction is aligned with the center position of the base portion in the transverse direction. The width of the pattern base portion in the transverse direction is equal to or smaller than the width of the base portion in the transverse direction at the same arrangement position.

Claims (18)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel,

wherein the display panel has

a bonded substrate which is bonded with a seal portion having an inlet portion, in which an inlet portion of a fluid is formed, the bonded substrate comprising a TFT substrate and a color filter substrate facing the TFT substrate, the TFT substrate having an overlapping region to the color filter substrate and a non-overlapping region to the color filter substrate in plan view,

a sealing material which seals the inlet portion and is arranged between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate,

a plurality of first metal film patterns which are provided in a first end portion of the non-overlapping region to confirm position and dimension precision of the sealing material,

a plurality of second metal film patterns which are provided in a second end portion of the overlapping region to confirm the position and dimension precision of the sealing material, the second end portion being located on a side of the TFT substrate opposite to the first end portion, the inlet portion being arranged between a first portion of the plurality of second metal film patterns and a second portion of the plurality of second metal film patterns,

a flexible printed board having a plurality of connection terminals,

a plurality of external connection terminals which respectively have first rectangular pattern base portions and are provided in parallel in a first direction on the non-overlapping region of the TFT substrate, each of the plurality of external connection terminals being connected to each of the plurality of connection terminals, and

each of the plurality of first metal film patterns of the non-overlapping region having a second rectangular pattern base portion of the first metal film patterns, the first metal film patterns are provided in parallel in the first direction such that a first center position of the first rectangular pattern base portion of the plurality of external connection terminals in the first direction is aligned with a second center position of the second rectangular base portion of the plurality of first metal patterns in the first direction, and a second width of the second rectangular pattern base portion in the first direction is equal to or smaller than a first width of the first rectangular base portion in the first direction.

2. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein each first metal film pattern is formed in a same layer as the external connection terminal.

3. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first metal film patterns are arranged in metal film pattern groups in each of which two or more of the first metal film patterns are provided in parallel to be aggregated vicinally.

4. The display device according to claim 3 ,

wherein two of the metal film pattern groups are arranged near each lateral portion of the inlet portion.

5. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first metal film patterns are provided in parallel at an interval compared to the external connection terminals.
