    Patent number: 6147739
    Abstract: A liquid crystal device is formed by mounting a drive IC on a liquid crystal panel. The liquid crystal panel comprises a plurality of signal electrodes formed on a first transparent substrate, a plurality of scan electrodes formed on a second transparent substrate, and an IC installation area formed on the second transparent substrate. The signal electrodes and the scan electrodes extend up to the IC installation area. The drive IC comprises scan electrode bumps that conductively connect to the scan electrodes, and signal electrode bumps that conductively connect to the signal electrodes. Also, a wide gap is formed between scan electrode bumps adjacent signal electrode bumps.
