Patent ID: 7557451

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: a substrate including a first surface with terminals and a second surface opposite the first surface; a driving IC disposed on the first surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the terminals; a flexible substrate that is connected to the substrate, the flexible substrate including: a first connecting portion including an edge and terminals aligned along the edge, the terminals being connected to the terminals of the substrate through an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) and electrically connected to the driving IC; and a second connecting portion that directly confronts the second surface of the substrate, the second connecting portion extending along the second surface of the substrate from a position adjacent one edge of the substrate toward an opposite edge of the substrate so as to follow the edge of the first connecting portion along which the terminals are aligned; and light sources disposed on the second connecting portion and overlapping the driving IC with the substrate disposed therebetween.
