Abstract
A display module of the present invention includes a liquid crystal panel driven by a driving signal in a column direction and a driving signal in a row direction; a source driver for supplying the driving signal in the column direction; a gate driver for supplying the driving signal in the row direction; a TCP type film provided with the source driver; a TCP type film provided with the gate driver; and a controller circuit for controlling the gate driver and the source driver, which is installed on the TCP type film together with the source driver or the gate driver. With this structure, the number of parts can be reduced, achieving miniaturization, weight reduction, and cost reduction.
