  • Publication number: 20250079252
    Abstract: Provided is an insulation sheet for a chip on film. An insulation sheet for a chip on film according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided on the opposite surface of a printed circuit film from the surface on which a display driver IC (DDI) is mounted, and is for preventing heat generated from the display driver IC from being transferred in a direction perpendicular to the opposite surface. Accordingly, the insulation sheet for a chip on film is advantageous for lowering the temperature of the display driver IC while minimizing the transfer of received heat toward a display device housing. Moreover, due to the excellent flexibility of the insulation sheet, peeling can be prevented even when the insulation sheet is attached to a printed circuit film that is curved.
