Abstract
A liquid crystal display including an active matrix substrate furnished with a matrix of TFTs, in which a plurality of TAB substrates each having a driver IC are connected to the active matrix substrate through an ACF, and the driver ICs are connected to source bus lines through the ACF. Also, adjacent driver ICs disposed on the mounting substrates are connected to each other through common connection lines formed on the active matrix substrate. Consequently, the size and weight of the mounting substrates used to provide the driver ICs and lines connected to the same can be reduced, thereby making it possible to provide a light and inexpensive liquid crystal display having a small frame edge portion.
