Abstract: A light source device 41A, 41B or 41C comprising a lens 44A, 44B or 44C which receives light from a light emitting device 43 such as LED. The lens 44A is a lens having the property that the directivity of exiting light in the Y direction is higher than the directivity in the X direction perpendicular to the Y direction. Namely, the light emitted from the light emitting device 43 is condensed in a narrow angular range in the Y direction, and is scattered in a wide angular range in the X direction. When the light source device 41A is used as a light source of an illumination device of a liquid crystal device, the height direction of a light guide in which the dimension is small coincides with the Y direction, and the width direction of the light guide in which the dimension is large coincides with the X direction.

Abstract: A FPC board 400 is manufactured by patterning copper foils which are bonded onto both sides of a base film 410 having insulation and flexibility without an adhesive layer, and forming an input wiring 420a and an output wiring 420b on a mounting surface of an electronic component while forming a dummy wiring layer 422 on the surface opposite the mounting surface. A dummy wiring layer 422 is set to be slightly larger than an area where an IC chip 450 is mounted, and has moisture resistance and light shielding properties. An input electrode 450a of the IC chip 450 is electrically connected to the input wiring 420a and an output electrode 450b is electrically connected to the output wiring 420b through electrically conductive particles 460a dispersed into an adhesive agent 460, such as an epoxy resin, at an appropriate ratio, and the adhesive agent 460 encapsulates the connection regions.

In addition, it is possible to reduce the projection size of the wiring connection area of the first substrate 24, and the ratio of the display area in the whole liquid crystal panel 21 can be increased.
