Abstract

Abstract A flat matrix display panel includes a plurality of scanning electrodes, and a plurality of data electrodes formed in a matrix fashion. The data electrodes are divided into two groups, one having terminals on the upper edge of the panel, and the other having terminals on the bottom edge of the panel. A first group data driver LSI is mounted on a substrate in a face-up bonding manner, and is connected to the terminals formed on the upper edge of the panel. A second group data driver LSI, which has the same construction as the first group data driver LSI, is mounted on the same side of the substrate in a facedown bonding manner, and is connected to the terminals formed on the bottom edge of the panel.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 174 words
A flat matrix display panel system comprising: a flat matrix display panel including a plurality of X-electrodes and a plurality of Y-electrodes, said plurality of Y-electrodes being divided into first and second groups having first terminals formed along a first edge of said flat matrix display panel and second terminals formed along a second opposing edge of said display panel respectively; a circuit substrate; an X-electrode driver LSI mounted on a first major surface of said circuit substrate; a first Y-electrode driver LSI mounted on said first major surface of said circuit substrate by a face-up bonding of a tape automated bonding technique, said first Y-electrode driver LSI being connected to said first terminals formed along said first edge of said flat matrix display panel; and a second Y-electrode driver LSI mounted on said first major surface of said circuit substrate by a face-down bonding of the tape automated bonding technique, said second Y-electrode driver LSI being connected to said second terminals formed along said second opposing edge of said flat matrix display panel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 174 words
A flat matrix display panel system comprising: a flat matrix display panel including a plurality of X-electrodes and a plurality of Y-electrodes, said plurality of Y-electrodes being divided into first and second groups having first terminals formed along a first edge of said flat matrix display panel and second terminals formed along a second opposing edge of said display panel respectively; a circuit substrate; an X-electrode driver LSI mounted on a first major surface of said circuit substrate; a first Y-electrode driver LSI mounted on said first major surface of said circuit substrate by a face-up bonding of a tape automated bonding technique, said first Y-electrode driver LSI being connected to said first terminals formed along said first edge of said flat matrix display panel; and a second Y-electrode driver LSI mounted on said first major surface of said circuit substrate by a face-down bonding of the tape automated bonding technique, said second Y-electrode driver LSI being connected to said second terminals formed along said second opposing edge of said flat matrix display panel.
