Particularly, on the installation region face 1ha of the substrate 1 that constitutes assembling structure 70, separate proper spacing and be arranged with many outside connections with wiring 6.Here, be conceived to many outside terminals 62 that connect with one among the wiring 6 wiring 6a, can know that the terminal 62 of this wiring 6a has 3 terminal parts (62a, 62b, 62c), constitute as the 1st terminal.With the corresponding separately position of 3 terminal parts (62a, 62b, 62c) on be formed with the opening 22a of protective seam 22.In addition, 6 the terminal 62 of respectively connecting up that is disposed at terminal 62 both sides of wiring 6a is made up of 1 terminal part.But, being not limited thereto in the present invention, 6 the terminal 62 of respectively connecting up that is disposed at terminal 62 both sides of wiring 6a also can be the structure identical with the terminal of wiring 6a 62.
On the other hand, on a face 8a of the FPC7 basalis 8 that constitutes assembling structure 70, separate proper spacing and be arranged with many wirings 9.Here, be conceived to the terminal 92 of 1 the wiring 9a of many wirings among 9, can know that the terminal 92 of wiring 9a has 3 terminal parts (92a, 92b, 92c), constitute as the 2nd terminal.In addition, 9 the terminal 92 of respectively connecting up that is disposed at terminal 92 both sides of wiring 9a is made up of 1 terminal part.But, being not limited thereto in the present invention, 9 the terminal 92 of respectively connecting up that is disposed at terminal 92 both sides of wiring 9a also can be the structure identical with the terminal of wiring 9a 92.
Moreover 3 terminal parts (92a, 92b, 92c) of 3 terminal parts (62a, 62b, 62c) of wiring 6a and wiring 9a are electrically connected.Also have, 6 the terminal 62 of respectively connecting up that is disposed at terminal 62 both sides of wiring 6a also is electrically connected on 9 the terminal 92 of respectively connecting up of terminal 92 both sides that are disposed at wiring 9a.Under the superincumbent structure, the wiring 9a through FPC7 is to the wiring 6a of substrate 1, supplies with than current potential Vb, current potential Va that Vc is higher, and what this current potential Vb, Vc were supplied in the wiring 6a both sides that are positioned at substrate 1 respectively connects up 6.For example, the wiring 6a of substrate 1 becomes the power voltage line of supplying with the side of the positive electrode noble potential.
Below, the example for related assembling structure 70 action effects of the 1st embodiment that compares with comparative example describes.
At first, as comparative example, suppose the assembling structure of terminal 92 each free 1 terminal part formation of the terminal 62 of wiring 6a in assembling structure 70 and the 9a that connects up.And below, the undesirable condition that will worry when for example under hot and humid environment, using this assembling structure describes.
In comparative example, be made as under hot and humid environment, 6a supplies with high current potential (for example 6V) Va to wiring, and the current potential lower than wiring 6a (for example 0V etc. reference potential) Vb, Vc are supplied with in the wiring 6 of this wiring 6a both sides.At this moment; On the current potential of supplying with between the wiring 6 of wiring 6a and its both sides, there is bigger potential difference (PD); So the terminal 62 of the wiring 6a that wherein current potential is high may burn into broken string take place because of following electrochemical reaction, this electrochemical reaction is to take place because of the foreign ion that from the moisture of entering such as outside, assembling structure, contains is applied electric field.In addition, even if when the potential difference (PD) between terminal is not high, also exist because of other factor to increase or used the terminal that is easy to corrode that the possibility of burn into broken string takes place.Also have, because the terminal of wiring 9a 92 is formed by metal film, the electroplating processes that utilization has the gold etc. of corrosion resistance was implemented on the surface of its metal film, so be difficult for causing that for the terminal 92 of the 9a that connects up burn into breaks.Also have,, then have the cloth line resistance to become big trend if improved corrosion resistance.In view of the above, in comparative example, the undesirable condition that the reliability of electrical connection that assembling structure may take place descends and so on.
This point is in the related assembling structure 70 of the 1st embodiment; The terminal 62 of wiring 6a is made up of 3 terminal parts (62a, 62b, 62c); And the terminal 92 of wiring 9a is made up of 3 terminal parts (92a, 92b, 92c), and 3 terminal parts (62a, 62b, 62c) and 3 terminal parts (92a, 92b, 92c) are electrically connected.
According to this structure, can obtain following action effect.That is to say; Be made as and for example under hot and humid environment, use liquid-crystal apparatus 100 with this assembling structure 70; And 6a supplies with high current potential (for example 6V) Va to wiring, in addition the current potential lower than wiring 6a (for example 0V etc. reference potential) Vb, Vc is supplied with in the wiring 6 of wiring 6a both sides.At this moment; On the current potential of supplying with between the wiring 6 of wiring 6a and its both sides, have bigger potential difference (PD), thus 2 terminal parts (62a, 62c) within the terminal part of the wiring 6a that wherein current potential is high (62a, 62b, 62c) have the possibility that the burn into broken string takes place because of above-mentioned electrochemical reaction effect separately.
But; Because terminal part (62a, 62b, 62c) to wiring 6a; Supply with the current potential of same potential; So among the terminal part (62a, 62b, 62c) of wiring 6a, at least 1 potential difference (PD) that is positioned at the terminal part 62b of inboard wiring 6a and is positioned between the terminal part (62a, 62c) of the wiring 6a of its both sides is roughly 0V.Its result does, above-mentioned electrochemical reaction becomes and is difficult for taking place, and the terminal part (92a, 92c) of the terminal part (62a, 62c) of wiring 6a and wiring 9a becomes barrier, can prevent that at least 1 terminal part 62b that is positioned at inboard wiring 6a from the burn into broken string taking place.In addition, because the terminal 92 of wiring 9a is formed by metal film, the electroplating processes that utilization has the gold etc. of corrosion resistance was implemented on the surface of its metal film, so the terminal 92 of the 9a that connects up is difficult for causing that burn into breaks.
Its result is to improve the 1st terminal of assembling structure 70 and the reliability of the electrical connection between the 2nd terminal.In addition, according to this structure, compare with the structure of above-mentioned patent documentation 1 and 2, it is complicated that the layout of wiring 6,9 can not become, and also can not cause in addition increases because of the cost that 6,9 the layout of connecting up causes.
In addition, in above-mentioned comparative example,, effectively draw back terminal 62 and the distance between the terminal 62 of the wiring 6 of its both sides of wiring 6a for the terminal part burn into broken string of seeking to cause because of electrochemical reaction prevents as far as possible.But, because the physical dimension of substrate 1 and FPC7 receives the restriction of structure, thus draw back its distance aspect the limit is arranged.To this, in the 1st embodiment, owing to can utilize said structure to seek to prevent the terminal part 62b burn into broken string of 6a that connects up, thereby terminal 62 and the distance between each terminal 62 of the wiring 6 of its both sides that can dwindle wiring 6a.
Also have, in the 1st embodiment, the terminal 62 of wiring 6a has 3 terminal parts (62a, 62b, 62c) and constitutes, and the terminal 92 of wiring 9a has 3 terminal parts (92a, 92b, 92c) and constitutes.But, be not limited thereto, in this embodiment, the terminal 62 of the 6a that also can connect up has 3 terminal parts at least and constitutes, and the terminal 92 of wiring 9a has 3 terminal parts at least and constitutes.
For example, preferred, be arranged at the terminal part number on wiring 9a, each terminal 92,62 of 6a, according to determining with the relation that flows in the size of current among this wiring 9a, the 6a.
That is to say; Terminal part number on being arranged at wiring 9a, each terminal 92,62 of 6a is identical with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment when being 3 respectively; Existence loses the terminal part of the possibility of conducting function because of the burn into broken string; As stated, maximum 2 terminal parts (terminal part 92a, 92c and terminal part 62a, 62c) just.Here, then mutually deserved if the terminal part number that is arranged on wiring 9a, each terminal 92,62 of 6a increases, the area of wiring 9a, each terminal 92,62 of 6a increases, and its resistance value reduces.Thereby; Consider these problems; Even if can know that the current potential that is supplied in wiring 9a, 6a is higher; As long as the size of current that in its wiring 9a, 6a, flows is less; Then each terminal 92,62 of wiring 9a, 6a is supplied with the signal that is fit to, on this basis, among the terminal part (62a, 62c) of wiring 6a at least 1 is positioned among the terminal part 92a, 92c of inboard terminal part 62b in terminal part and wiring 9a at least 1 and is positioned at the inboard terminal part 92b in terminal part and can retains and get final product.But, when the size of current that in wiring 9a, 6a, flows is big, supply with on the basis that is fit to signal at each terminal 92,62 to wiring 9a, 6a, be arranged at terminal part number on wiring 9a, each terminal 92,62 of 6a sometimes and be 3 still not enough.Thereby, preferred for each terminal 92,62 to wiring 9a, 6a is supplied with the signal that is fit in this case, the terminal part that each terminal 92,62 of wiring 9a, 6a is provided with more than 4.Therefore, when the terminal part that like this each terminal 92,62 of wiring 9a, 6a is provided with more than 4, the possibility that at least 2 inboard above terminal parts receive the influence of burn into broken string that is positioned among the terminal part lowers.
