    Abstract: The present invention discloses a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a making method thereof. The LCD comprises: a LCD panel and one or more (Chip on Film) COFs arranged at the edge of the LCD panel, wherein conducting layers used for discharging the static electricity from the LCD panel are arranged between the LCD panel and the COF. With the application of the conducting layers, the static electricity can be discharged from the LCD panel, and thus a LCD frame can be made of nonmetallic materials with low cost. Thereby, the production cost of the LCD can be further reduced while the static charge on the LCD panel is discharged in time.

  • Patent number: 8421720
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) and circuit architecture thereof are proposed. Power signal lines, data signal lines, and control signal lines are mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) and a thin film substrate. The thin film substrate is connected to a LCD panel by using a COF bonding. These circuits can be transferred onto a conductive glass of the panel and subsequently onto source driver chips of the thin film substrate of the COF. Therefore, a position which needs the least time for power signal lines, data signal lines, and control signal lines to transmit to all of the circuits of the panel on the PCB can be calculated in order to achieve the best design.
