Abstract
The tape carrier package includes a base material, wiring lines formed on the base material, and an insulating top coat formed on the wiring lines to insulate and protect the wiring lines. The wiring lines have a plurality of line exposed portions and line exposed portions exposed from the insulating top coat. By bending the base material along a bending portion formed in the base material, line exposed portions and line exposed portions, which are resultantly opposed to each other, are electrically connected to each other, respectively. A three-dimensional interconnection structure can be realized by bending the base material. As a result, a tape carrier package of multilayer interconnection structure as well as a liquid crystal module using the tape carrier package are provided with low price.
