  • Patent number: 8344486
    Abstract: In a COF of an embodiment of the present invention, the smaller distance to edges of a heat-releasing member an area of the heat-releasing member has, the larger openings the area has. Accordingly, a volume per area (an area per length) of the heat-releasing member decreases toward the edges. The arrangement improves flexibility of the COF. This prevents a stress caused by bending the COF from concentrating at the edges. This makes it possible to prevent a line on an insulating film from being broken. Also, it becomes possible to prevent an anisotropic conductive resin from coming off which is used to bond the COF with a display panel in providing the COF in a display apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8247890
    Abstract: A conductor layer 2 is formed as a circuit pattern on a base insulating layer 1, a terminal 3 is formed thereon, and a supporting column 4 is formed in the vicinity of the terminal on the upper face of the base insulating layer 1. Here, supposing the protrusion height B of the bump from the element to be connected is B, the height of the supporting column is H, the height of the terminal is h, and the layer thickness of the terminal is t, as measured from the upper face of the base insulating layer as the reference surface, the height H of the supporting column is determined to satisfy B<H<h+B wherein t<B, or h<H<h+B wherein t?B. As a result, the supporting column functions as a spacer to suppress compression that causes the solder of the terminal to reach the electrode of the element.
