Abstract:
1. A display device, comprising: a substrate including a display region so that signal lines formed within the display region are connected to respective terminals in a terminal group formed outside of the display region via terminal wires; and an IC driver having bumps respectively facing and being connected to said the terminals via an isotropic conductive film; wherein the terminal wires include a first terminal wire, a second terminal wire, a third terminal wire, and a fourth terminal wire, the terminals include a first terminal connected to the first terminal wire, a second terminal connected to the second terminal wire, a third terminal connected to the third terminal wire, and a fourth terminal connected to the fourth terminal wire; wherein the first terminal, the second terminal, the third terminal, and the fourth terminal respectively have a wide portion and a narrow portion which is narrower than the wide portion, the narrow portion of the first terminal and the narrow portion of the third terminal are adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the terminal wires run, the narrow portion of the second terminal and the narrow portion of the fourth terminal are adjacent to each other in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the terminal wires run, the wide portion of the first terminal and the wide portion of the third terminal are staggered with respect to each other in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the terminal wires run, the wide portion of the second terminal and the wide portion of the fourth terminal are staggered with respect to each other in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the terminal wires run; wherein the first terminal, the second terminal, the third terminal, and the fourth terminal are formed of a transparent conductive film; and wherein the bumps of the IC driver include a first bump connected to the first terminal via the isotropic conductive film, a second bump connected to the second terminal via the isotropic conductive film, a third bump connected to the third terminal via the isotropic conductive film, and a fourth bump connected to the fourth terminal via the isotropic conductive film; wherein the wide portion of the first terminal is connected to the first wire via a first contact hole, the wide portion of the second terminal is connected to the second wire via a second contact hole, the wide portion of the third terminal is connected to the third wire via a third contact hole, the wide portion of the fourth terminal is connected to the fourth wire via a fourth contact hole, the narrow portion of the first terminal is connected to the first bump, the narrow portion of the second terminal is connected to the second bump, the narrow portion of the third terminal is connected to the third bump, the narrow portion of the fourth terminal is connected to the fourth bump; and wherein each of the narrow portion of the first terminal and the first bump does not overlap the first contact hole, each of the narrow portion of the second terminal and the second bump does not overlap the second contact hole, each of the narrow portion of the third terminal and the third bump does not overlap the third contact hole, each of the narrow portion of the fourth terminal and the fourth bump does not overlap the fourth contact hole, the wide portion of the first terminal does not overlap the first bump, the wide portion of the second terminal does not overlap the second bump, the wide portion of the third terminal does not overlap the third bump and the wide portion of the fourth terminal does not overlap the fourth bump.
