Abstract:
A method for mounting a TCP on a display panel comprising a step of establishing connections between terminal electrodes of a liquid crystal panel, which is formed of an active substrate and an opposing color filter substrate with liquid crystal filled therebetween, and a TCP film formed of an opaque film substrate with a conductive pattern formed on a surface thereof,wherein the active substrate comprises:a first translucent insulating substrate;a plurality of scanning lines disposed on a main surface of the first translucent insulating substrate;a plurality of signal lines intersecting generally at a right angle with the scanning lines, respectively;at least a layer or more of insulating layer sandwiched between the scanning lines and the signal lines;at least a switching element and pixel at each respective point of intersection of the scanning line and signal line; andterminal electrodes of the scanning lines and signal lines disposed outside an image display area of the active substrate, andwherein the color filter substrate opposing to the active substrate, comprises:a second translucent insulating substrate with a translucent conductive layer disposed on a main surface thereof; orthe second translucent insulating substrate with a color filter layer formed thereon,wherein, when the conductive pattern of the TCP film and the terminal electrodes are connected with one another via a photo-curing resin, an opening formed on the opaque film substrate and also on the conductive pattern is filled with a translucent resin and applied with a pressing force to establish connections between the conductive pattern of the TCP film and the terminal electrodes, and light rays are irradiated on joint surfaces between the conductive pattern and the terminal electrodes through the translucent resin from a side opposite to a surface of the TCP film provided with the conductive pattern, thereby hardening the photo-curing resin.
