The present invention provides a display device which has a narrow screen border, and excellent display equality. The display device according to the present invention comprises a display panel comprising a glass substrate and a source driver IC which is provided along the edge of the glass substrate. The FPC is connected between the source driver ICs. At the substrate end side of the source driver IC, a bump for GND, a bump for analog power supply, a bump for digital power supply, a bump for reference voltage at the positive polarity side, and a bump for reference voltage at the negative polarity side are formed sequentially from the outer side along the flow of current. These bumps for input and the FPC are connected with the lines for input on the glass substrate. The logic signal lines and are formed along the short side of the source driver IC and along the long side at the display area side.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image display device that is free from disconnection in a connection structure between given substrates even when operated in a hot and humid environment. An image display device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention has a TFT substrate and an FPC. The TFT substrate has a plurality of first terminals capable of application of potential. The FPC has second terminals that are connected respectively with the first terminals through an anisotropic conductive film and that are thicker than the first terminals. The second terminals include a high-potential terminal, a low-potential terminal, and a dummy terminal. The high-potential terminal is supplied with a relatively high potential that contributes to the display operation. The low-potential terminal is supplied with a relatively low potential that contributes to the display operation. The dummy terminal is positioned between the high-potential terminal and the low-potential terminal and is supplied with a potential not contributing to the display operation.

A cross line is formed on the surface of the peripheral portion of an electrode substrate so as to cross a source line array with a gate insulating film interposed in between. If a display failure such as a line defect is found in a dynamic operating inspection that is performed after mounting of a driver LSI, a crossing portion of the cross line and a source line as a failure occurring position is irradiated with YAG laser light, whereby the source line concerned and the cross line are connected to each other. Then, an output waveform of the driver LSI is measured by contacting a prober that is connected to an oscilloscope into contact with a cross line electrode.
