Abstract
A display device comprising a substrate, a rectangular display section provided on the substrate and having four sides, a plurality of driving semiconductor elements formed on peripheral portions of the substrate in the vicinity of the display section, each of the driving semiconductor elements having two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides, one of the two long sides being opposed to one side of the display section, a plurality of output lines extending from the one long side of each of the driving semiconductor elements to the display section, to output signals from the driving semiconductor elements to the display section, a plurality of input lines extending from both the short sides of each of the driving semiconductor elements, to input signals to the driving semiconductor elements to drive them, a plurality of output terminals formed on each of the driving semiconductor elements along both the long sides thereof, and electrically connected to the output lines, the number of the output terminals located along one of the long sides being substantially equal to the number of the output terminals located along the other long side, and a plurality of input terminals formed on each of the driving semiconductor elements along both the short sides thereof, and electrically connected to the input lines.
