Abstract: An LCD display module includes a polygon flexible printed circuit to produce a thinner display. The polygon flexible printed circuit connects a driver integrated circuit to a printed circuit board assembly and a glass substrate. The polygon flexible printed circuit has a narrow minor end connected to the glass substrate and a wider major end connected to the printed circuit board assembly. Because the polygon flexible printed circuit has different end widths, the polygon flexible printed circuit permits reduced spacing of electronic components in proximity of the narrower minor end. The LCD display module also includes a shielding can in physical communication with the printed circuit board assembly to reduce electromagnetic interference between the printed circuit board and the polygon flexible printed circuit.
