Abstract:
1. A bonding structure between a flexible printed circuit and an apparatus, comprising: a plurality of bonding pads provided on the flexible printed circuit; a plurality of testing pads provided on the flexible printed circuit, wherein each of the testing pads is disposed corresponding to each of the bonding pads, and the testing pads are electrically isolated from the bonding pads; and a plurality of contact pins provided on the apparatus, wherein each bonding pad and the corresponding testing pad of the flexible printed circuit are both conductively bonded to same corresponding contact pin of the apparatus to form an electrical conductive path from each bonding pad to the corresponding testing pad of the flexible printed circuit via the corresponding contact pin of the apparatus, whereby integrity of conductive bonding between the flexible printed circuit and the contact pins can be determined by testing the electrical conductive path.
