Abstract
Source lines 11 of a liquid crystal panel 10 and output lines 21 for source lines of a TCP 24, an opposite-voltage use line 12 of the liquid crystal panel 10 and an opposite-voltage use line 22 of the TCP 24, connection lines 13 of the liquid crystal panel 10 and second input lines 25 of the TCP 24, and connection lines 13 adjacent to the foregoing connection lines 13 with the source lines 11 interposed therebetween and output lines 26 for liquid-crystal driver ICs of adjacent TCPs 24, are aligned with each other and electrically connected to each other by means of anisotropic conductive film or the like, respectively. Next, the opposite-voltage use line 22 of the TCP 24 and connection lines 34 of the circuit board 30, as well as a first input line 23 of the TCP 24 and connection lines 33 of the circuit board 30 are aligned with each other and electrically connected to each other by means of anisotropic conductive film or solder or the like. As a result, interconnection lines for electrically interconnecting the interconnection lines of adjacent TCPs 24 of the liquid crystal panel 10 and the opposite-voltage use line can be prevented from crossing each other, so that a low-price liquid crystal display without the use of multilayer interconnection can be obtained.
