Patent ID: 7432894

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: an image display part formed on a first substrate where data lines and gate lines are vertically and horizontally arranged, respectively, to cross each other; a plurality of gate tape carrier packages having a gate driving integrated circuit to drive the gate lines; a plurality of data tape carrier packages having a data driving integrated circuit to drive the data lines; a plurality of conductive lines formed at an outer side of the image display part and on the first substrate to supply gate driving signals to the gate driving integrated circuits to be supplied to the gate lines; a first control signal line on the gate tape carrier packages, the first control signal line being connected to the conductive lines to supply a first control signal to the gate driving integrated circuits mounted on the gate tape carrier packages so that the gate lines of the image display part may be sequentially driven from the first one to the last one by applying the first control signal to the first one through a first signal path having the conductive lines and the first control signal line on the gate tape carrier packages; a second control signal line on the gate tape carrier packages, the second control signal line being connected to the conductive lines to supply a second control signal to the gate driving integrated circuits mounted on the gate tape carrier packages so that the gate lines of the image display part may be sequentially driven from the last one to the first one by applying the second control signal to the last one through a second signal path having the conductive lines and the second control signal line on the gate tape carrier packages; and a first controller to supply the first and second control signals to the first and second control signal lines.
