On the other hand, it synchronizes with the clock outputted from output terminal CP2 of display control circuit 17, Inside segment drive circuit 12B, a shift action is performed by using potential VDD as shift data to the shift data input/output terminal EIO2 side of LSI chip 13b from the shift data input/output terminal EIO1 side of LSI chip 13a. LSI chip 13a corresponding to the shift position according to the shift of shift data, If display data DO~D3 outputted to each bit of the register in 13b one by one from display control circuit 17 is taken in and the display data corresponding to the picture matter for one line is taken in, Lunch of these display data is carried out in the timing of the clock outputted from output terminal CPI of display control circuit 17, The voltage signal generated based on bias V Q~■5 supplied from drive signal 18 corresponding to each display data, i.e., a power supply bias circuit, is given to segment electrode X of liquid crystal panel 11 from output terminal x1~xm to which LSI chips 13a and 13b correspond. By the above-mentioned operation of common drive circuit 15 and segment drive circuit 12B, the picture matter of liquid crystal panel 11 drives according to the order-of-rows foreword, and the picture corresponding to display data is displayed on liquid crystal panel 11. Although what [ two ] is the same as an input side terminal was divided into right and left, and was arranged in the LSI chip of TAB13.16 and the case where distribution formation of the extended pattern of those input side terminal was carried out on one side of plastic film 19 from there at right and left was shown in addition in the above-mentioned example, Not only this but the composition which does not divide the input side terminal into two places with an LSI chip is possible. That is, an extended pattern is arranged for example, in left one side by the surface side of one plastic film from the input side [ one place ] terminal of an LSI chip in this case, It is good also as double-sided wiring to make the back side of one plastic film face the same input side terminal by through hole wiring, and form an extended pattern from the back side to the position of right one side. By constituting in this way, it can wire easily, without making the pattern distributed to right and left produce intersection. In the above-mentioned example, although the case of the liquid crystal display of a passive-matrix drive system was shown, it is applicable not only to it but other displays, such as a liquid crystal display of other methods, and also an EL display. EFFECT OF THE INVENTION As mentioned above, inside [ according to the display of the present invention ] of the terminal in both a line drive circuit and a sequence drive circuit, or one tape carrier of each, The terminal which it should connect for each other between [ adjoining ] tape carriers is divided into two places for every terminal in each tape carrier, and it forms, and connects the divided terminal to the terminal in which the next tape carrier corresponds in piles. Since it constitutes so that between each tape carrier's terminals may be connected, connection between terminals between [ which constitute a line drive circuit and a sequence drive circuit / adjoining / a plurality of ] tape carriers can be made, without making P W B intervene, PWB is omitted in a line drive circuit or a sequence drive circuit -- it thing food * comes and can reduce part mark.
