Abstract

A display device includes a base substrate in which a display area and a pad area disposed around the display area are defined, a plurality of panel pads disposed on the pad area of the base substrate, and a printed circuit board attached to the pad area of the base substrate. The printed circuit board includes a plurality of circuit pads, the plurality of circuit pads include a first lead align mark, and the first lead align mark includes a plurality of first patterns passing through the first lead align mark from a surface of the first lead align mark in a thickness direction.

Claims (61)

1. A display device comprising:

a base substrate in which a display area and a pad area disposed around the display area are defined;

a plurality of panel pads disposed on the pad area of the base substrate; and

a printed circuit board attached to the pad area of the base substrate and including:

a plurality of circuit pads including:

a first lead align mark including a plurality of first patterns passing through the first lead align mark from a surface of the first lead align mark in a thickness direction,

wherein the plurality of circuit pads further includes a first lead signal line,

wherein the plurality of panel pads includes a first panel signal line which corresponds to the first lead signal line, a first panel dummy line which is disposed between the first panel signal line and the first lead align mark, and a first panel align mark which is physically connected to the first panel dummy line,

wherein the first lead signal line and the first panel signal line are electrically connected, and

wherein the first panel align mark is separated from the first lead align mark in a plan view.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first patterns extends from a first end of the first lead align mark and terminates in the first lead align mark in the plan view.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first patterns extends to a second end of the first lead align mark from a first end of the first lead align mark and completely crosses the first lead align mark in the plan view.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first patterns is disposed in the first lead align mark and is completely surrounded by a material constituting the first lead align mark in the plan view.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein:

the first lead signal line which extends in a first direction; and

the first panel signal line extends in the first direction.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein:

the plurality of circuit pads further includes a second lead align mark spaced apart from the first lead align mark with the first lead signal line therebetween; and

the second lead align mark includes a plurality of second patterns passing through the second lead align mark from a surface of the second lead align mark in the thickness direction.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein:

the plurality of circuit pads further includes a second lead signal line disposed between the first lead signal line and the second lead align mark;

the plurality of panel pads includes a second panel signal line corresponding to the second lead signal line; and

the second lead signal line and the second panel signal line are electrically connected.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein:

the first panel dummy line extends in the first direction, and

the first panel align mark extends in a second direction which crosses the first direction in the plan view.

9. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the first lead signal line and the first panel signal line are directly connected.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first lead signal line and the first panel signal line are ultrasonically bonded.

11. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a coupling member disposed between the first lead signal line and the first panel signal line,

wherein the coupling member includes an anisotropic conductive film, and

the first lead signal line and the first panel signal line are electrically connected to each other by the anisotropic conductive film.

12. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a resin which is disposed between the printed circuit board and the base substrate and contacts surfaces of the plurality of panel pads and surfaces of the plurality of circuit pads,

wherein the resin contacts the first lead align mark and fills a first pattern of the plurality of first patterns of the first lead align mark.

13. A display device comprising:

a base substrate in which a display area and a pad area disposed around the display area are defined;

a plurality of panel pads disposed on the pad area of the base substrate; and

a printed circuit board attached to the pad area of the base substrate and including:

a plurality of circuit pads including:

a first lead align mark including a plurality of first patterns passing through the first lead align mark from a surface of the first lead align mark in a thickness direction,

wherein the plurality of circuit pads further includes a first lead signal line,

wherein the plurality of panel pads includes a first panel signal line which corresponds to the first lead signal line, a first panel dummy line which is disposed between the first panel signal line and the first lead align mark, and a first panel align mark which is physically connected to the first panel dummy line,

wherein the first lead signal line and the first panel signal line are electrically connected,

wherein:
