Flexible printed circuit board and display device including the same
A display device including a display panel including a substrate having one side on which a first conductive pattern is arranged, a flexible printed circuit board having one side on which a second conductive pattern that is connected to the first conductive pattern is arranged, and a dam pad positioned between the substrate and the flexible printed circuit board to be spaced apart from an area to which the second conductive pattern is connected.
1. A display device comprising:
a display panel comprising a substrate having one side on which a first conductive pattern is arranged;
a flexible printed circuit board having one side on which a second conductive pattern that is connected to the first conductive pattern is arranged; and
a dam pad disposed between the substrate and the flexible printed circuit board to be spaced apart from an area to which the second conductive pattern is connected,
wherein the dam pad comprises:
a first dam pad that extends in a first direction; and
a second dam pad that extends in a second direction that is different from the first direction.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the dam pad is disposed adjacent to an edge of one side of the substrate.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the dam pad comprises a first pad disposed on one surface of the substrate that faces the flexible printed circuit board and a second pad disposed on one surface of the flexible printed circuit board that faces the substrate.
4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein at least parts of the first pad and the second pad overlap each other.
5. The display device of claim 3 , wherein one side portion of the first pad contacts one side portion of the second pad.
6. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first pad and the second pad are spaced apart a predetermined distance from each other.
7. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the first pad and the first conductive pattern are made of the same material, and the second pad and the second conductive pattern are made of the same material.
8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first dam pad and the second dam pad of the dam pad are connected to each other.
9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first dam pad is positioned adjacent to an edge of one side of the substrate.
10. A flexible printed circuit board comprising:
a base film having one surface and an opposing other surface;
a first conductive pattern disposed at an edge of one side of the one surface of the base film; and
a dam pad disposed on the one surface of the base film to be spaced apart from the first conductive pattern and disposed on an inner side of the one surface relative to the first conductive pattern,
wherein the dam pad comprises:
a first dam pad that extends in a first direction; and
a second dam pad that extends in a second direction that is different from the first direction.
11. The flexible printed circuit board of claim 10 , further comprising a second conductive pattern positioned on the other surface of the base film,
wherein a contact hole for electrically connecting the first conductive pattern and the second conductive pattern to each other is formed in the base film.
