Patent ID: 8896798

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising an LCD panel and a flexible circuit board for linking the LCD panel and an external driving chip, characterize in that: the LCD device further comprises: a glass substrate; a plurality of first metallic wires formed on the glass substrate; a plurality of panel bonding pads, each coupled to one of the plurality of first metallic wires; the plurality of panel bonding pads further comprising: a first set of panel bonding pads placed in a first section; a second set of panel bonding pads placed in a second section; and a third set of panel bonding pads placed in a third section; the flexible printed circuit comprising: a substrate; a plurality of second metallic wires formed on the substrate; a plurality of FPC bonding pads, each coupled to one of the plurality of second metallic wires, the plurality of FPC bonding pads comprising: a first set of FPC bonding pads placed in a fourth section; a second set of FPC bonding pads placed in a fifth section; and a third set of FPC bonding pads placed in a sixth section; wherein each area of the first set of panel bonding pads is different from that of the second set of panel bonding pads; wherein the first section corresponds to the fourth section, the second section corresponds to the fifth section, and the third section corresponds to the sixth section when the flexible circuit board couples to the LCD panel, wherein each panel bonding pad comprises: a first metallic layer, formed on the glass substrate, for coupling to one of the first metallic wires; an insulating layer, formed on the first metallic layer; a second metallic layer, formed on the insulating layer; a passivation layer, formed on the second metallic layer; and a transparent conducting layer, formed on the passivation layer, for electrically connecting to a first metallic layer and a second metallic layer through a via defined on the passivation layer and the insulating layer; wherein each area of the second set of panel bonding pads is identical with each area of the first set of FPC bonding pads.
