Patent ID: 6864941

Claim:
A display apparatus in which a display device and an integrated circuit for driving said display device are mounted on the same substrate and are interconnected by electrodes formed on said substrate, and said substrate is connected to an external circuit by a flexible printed circuit, wherein said integrated circuit has a rectangular shape whose first side is provided with a first output terminal group and whose second side opposite said first side is provided with an input terminal group and a second output terminal group having output terminals, and wherein: some but not all of the output terminals in said second output terminal group provided on said second side of said integrated circuit are designated as unconnected terminals that are not used, and an input electrode group corresponding to said input terminal group is formed in such a manner as to expand into an output electrode formation area originally reserved on said substrate for said unconnected terminals, said unconnected terminals being disposed between said input terminal group and output terminals in the second output terminal group not designated as unconnected terminals.
