Pad arrangement of driver IC chip for LCD and related circuit pattern structure of TAB package

摘要

Output pads on an integrated circuit (IC) chip are arranged along a first longer side and are arranged along a second longer side with input pads. The output pads are connected to respective output patterns formed on top and bottom surfaces of a base film. All the output patterns may pass over the first longer side. Alternatively, the output patterns connected to the output pads at the second longer side may pass over a shorter side. These pattern structures establish an effective pad arrangement without increasing the size of a TAB package, yet allowing reduced the chip size.
