Abstract:
A method for connecting integrated circuits (16) to a display screen (11) having pixels (P) connected to one edge (11a) of the screen by wires (12) separated by a given pitch (s) so as to be controlled by respective terminals (18) of the integrated circuits, wherein said terminals are disposed in a plurality of parallel rows (19, 47) in which they are separated from one another by several times (Sm) the pitch of the wires, comprising the steps of forming a connecting support (24) on an insulating film (21) carrying conductive tracks (23) whose inner ends have the disposition of said terminals of the integrated circuits and extend substantially at the pitch of the wires, the tracks ending in test ends (27), mounting each integrated circuit onto the support, collectively bonding terminals of the integrated circuit to inner ends of the respective tracks, testing the assembly by means of the test ends, selecting the integrated circuits whose tested operation is acceptable within a predetermined standard, and connecting the conductive tracks of the support (20) corresponding to a selected integrated circuit to the corresponding wires of the screen.
