Abstract

A display unit has a peripheral driver circuit mounted on a flat display substrate. The flat display substrate has on a surface thereof a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of signal lines perpendicular to the scanning lines, and an input electrode connected to each of the scanning lines or the signal lines. The peripheral driver circuit has on a surface thereof a peripheral driver circuit for energizing the scanning lines or the signal lines, and input and output electrodes electrically connected to the peripheral driver circuit. The display unit also includes a driver circuit board having on a surface thereof a driver circuit for supplying a power supply voltage and transmitting a control signal to the peripheral driver circuit on the peripheral driver circuit substrate, and an output electrode electrically connected to the driver circuit. The input electrode of each of the scanning lines or the signal lines is electrically connected to the output electrode on the peripheral driver circuit substrate by a flexible printed circuit board. The input electrode on the peripheral driver circuit substrate is also electrically connected to the output electrode on the driver circuit …
