Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a low-cost, high-reliability, compact, lightweight, and low-power-consumption color liquid crystal display. To achieve the object, a liquid crystal display according to the invention comprises a backlight for applying light to a liquid crystal panel, which includes an optical plate at one side of a liquid crystal panel and a light source at the side of the optical plate to supply light to the optical plate; and a tape carrier package for liquid crystal driver including a semiconductor integrated circuit device, wherein the tape carrier package for liquid crystal driver is bent on the bent portion of the light source of the backlight. The present invention makes it possible to realize a high-reliability bent TCP, minimize the frame of a liquid crystal display by applying the bent TCP, and realize OA equipment such as a high-reliability, compact, lightweight, and thin word processor or notebook PC superior in the portability.
