Patent ID: 7745994

Claim:
A display device comprising: a plurality of line electrodes including at least a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode being disposed in different directions from each other on or above a flexible substrate; an optical functional layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a display unit having a display pixel formed at each area of overlap between the first electrode and the second electrode in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the electrodes, wherein the first electrode is connected to a first flexible wiring member at a first region at a periphery of the flexible substrate, the second electrode is connected to a second flexible wiring member at a second region at the periphery of the flexible substrate that is different from the first region, either the first flexible wiring member or the second flexible wiring member is adhered onto the display unit formed on the flexible substrate, and a first connection portion and a second connection portion are disposed at the same region at the periphery of the flexible substrate, wherein the first connection portion connects the first flexible wiring member adhered onto the display unit with a first external drive unit, and the second connection portion connects the second flexible wiring member with a second external drive unit, or the first connection portion connects the second flexible wiring member adhered onto the display unit with the second external drive unit, and the second connection portion connects the first flexible wiring member with the first external drive unit.
