Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (100) includes a glass substrate (110) having an LSI chip (130) and an FPC board (140) mounted thereon. A component ACF (150a) made of a single sheet is used to further mount discrete electronic components such as stabilizing capacitors (150) on the glass substrate (110). The component ACF (150a) has a size that covers not only a region where the discrete electronic components are to be mounted, but also the top surfaces of the LSI chip (130) and the FPC board (140) which are mounted first. By thus using the large component ACF (150a), a positional constraint upon adhering the component ACF (150a) to the glass substrate (110) is eliminated, reducing the area of a region where the discrete electronic components are mounted. By this, a board module miniaturized by reducing the area of a region where discrete electronic components are mounted is provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display panel in which, without providing connection terminals, the number of which corresponds to the number of test terminals of a liquid crystal panel, on a circuit board such as an FPC board, miniaturization is obtained while reducing costs such as the mounting cost and material cost of the circuit board, and stable operation is performed. A liquid crystal panel (10) has a configuration in which jumper resistors (60a) to (60f) are provided in an overhanging portion (20a) of a glass substrate (20) to ground test terminals, which eliminates the need to ground the test terminals on an FPC board (50). Thus, wiring lines and connection terminals which are connected to the test terminals, respectively, and the numbers of which are equal to the number of the test terminals do not need to be provided on the FPC board (50), reducing the width of the FPC board (50).

This makes it possible to narrow the FPC board (50) connected to the liquid crystal display device (10), thereby achieving size reduction of the liquid crystal display device (10) while achieving reduction in manufacturing cost, including processing and material cost of the FPC board (50).

Abstract: A tilting apparatus is provided which can make a moving section perform a tilting operation with stability or in which a moving section can exercise its functionality as expected, and an electronic apparatus equipped with the tilting apparatus is provided. In a tilting apparatus, with first and second tilting operations, one side of a first panel holder is angularly displaced with respect to the other side from a reference position. This can prevent the first panel holder from making any extra operation other than the first and second tilting operations with respect to a device body. Unlike any existing technology, in the invention, even when the first and second tilting operations are put into action, a first chassis is not displaced against the device body unless it is desired, e.g., displaced along front, and juts from the device body, thereby favorably leading to the operation with stability.
