Abstract

Provided are a display device and a display device. The display device includes: a display panel, including display area and non-display area surrounding display area; and a flexible circuit board. The non-display area includes first binding area and second binding area located on two opposite sides of display area along first direction, which is parallel to the display panel. The display panel has display surface and back surface. The flexible circuit board is disposed on back surface of display panel. A driving chip is fixed on the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board has first end and second end. When the flexible circuit board is in bent state, first end is bent and then extended to display surface of the display panel and bound to first binding area, and second end is bent and then extended to display surface of the display panel and bound to second binding area.
