Repairable TFT-LCD assembly and method for making in which a separation tape positioned between two anisotropic conductive films

摘要

A repairable TFT-LCD assembly and a method for fabricating such assembly have been disclosed. In the repairable TFT-LCD assembly, a novel separation tape is utilized between the TFT and the LCD substrate such that when the tape is pulled in a perpendicular direction to the planar surface of the LCD substrate, the TFT can be separated from the assembly without causing damages to the LCD substrate. The separation tape is fabricated of a polymeric based insulating material with a multiplicity of apertures filled with a conductive metal. The back of the separation tape is laminated with a copper film which is patterned corresponding to the pattern of conductive pads provided on the LCD substrate. The present invention is further directed to a method for fabricating the separation tape for use in a repairable TFT-LCD assembly.
