DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the above purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the particular embodiments.


Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a 14.0″ displaying device in the related art. Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a 13.4″ displaying device in the related art. Both of the resolutions of the two displaying devices are 3840*2160, both of the two displaying devices are formed by binding 6 driving chips (1920 channels) to a displaying base plate by using 6 Chip-On-Film structures (COF), one driving chip is arranged on one Chip-On-Film structure, and the X-direction dimensions of the Chip-On-Film structures COF employed by the two modules are equal. Because the X-direction dimensions of the displaying base plates in the two displaying devices are different, the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures COF on the smaller-size displaying base plate (for example, 13.4″) is too low, as shown in FIG. 2, which cannot satisfy the requirement by the production process of COF spacing ≥4 mm.


In order to increase the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a Chip-On-Film structure. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the Chip-On-Film structure comprises: a first substrate 31; a plurality of driving chips 32 provided on one side of the first substrate 31, and a plurality of first leads 33 that are connected to the plurality of driving chips 32; and the plurality of first leads 33 are for binding a displaying base plate, and the quantity of the first leads 33 is greater than or equal to the sum of the quantities of channels of the plurality of driving chips 32.


In a particular embodiment, two or more driving chips 32 may be provided on the first substrate 31, and the driving chips 32 are connected to the first leads 33 via the channels. The channels may particularly be the signal output channels of the driving chips 32.


The Chip-On-Film structure according to the present embodiment, by arranging a plurality of driving chips, can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures in the displaying device, and increase the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures, which, during the technical process of binding the Chip-On-Film structures, can prevent adverse effects by a high temperature on the Chip-On-Film structures that have been completely bound, thereby satisfying the requirements by the process and the production.


In an alternative embodiment, the Chip-On-Film structure according to the present embodiment may comprise two driving chips 32.


As shown in FIG. 3, two driving chips 32 are bound in parallel in a first direction on the first substrate 31. As compared with the technique in which each of the Chip-On-Film structures comprises merely one driving chip 32, that can reduce the dimension in the first direction that is occupied by two driving chips 32, and can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures in the displaying device by 50%. For example, regarding the displaying devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, merely three Chip-On-Film structures are required to be bound (as shown in FIG. 7). Therefore, by using the Chip-On-Film structure comprising two driving chips, the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures in the displaying device, and increase the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures, thereby satisfying the requirements by the process and the production.


In an alternative embodiment, the Chip-On-Film structure according to the present embodiment may comprise three driving chips 32.


As shown in FIG. 4, three driving chips 32 are bound on the first substrate 31. As compared with the technique in which each of the Chip-On-Film structures comprises merely one driving chip 32, that can reduce the dimension in the first direction that is occupied by three driving chips 32, and can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures in the displaying device by two thirds. For example, regarding the displaying devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, merely two Chip-On-Film structures are required to be bound (as shown in FIG. 8). Therefore, by using the Chip-On-Film structure comprising three driving chips, the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures in the displaying device, and increase the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures, thereby satisfying the requirements by the process and the production.


Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the plurality of first leads 33 are arranged in the first direction, and the plurality of first leads 33 may be arranged into a predetermined quantity of rows. Taking into consideration the limitation by the size of the Chip-On-Film structure in the first direction, the predetermined quantity may be greater than or equal to 2. For example, the predetermined quantity may be 3; in other words, the plurality of first leads 33 may be arranged into three rows.


Because the Chip-On-Film structure comprises the plurality of driving chips, and the plurality of driving chips have a large sum of the signal output channels, a large quantity of the first leads 33 are required. If the plurality of first leads 33 are arranged into one row, the spacing between the first leads 33 will be too small, which has a high requirement on the subsequent binding process. Therefore, in order not to increase the difficulty in the subsequent binding process, the plurality of first leads 33 may be arranged into two rows, three rows or more rows.


In an alternative embodiment, Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the spacings A between any two driving chips 32 on the first substrate 31 in the first direction may be greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 8 mm. That cannot only prevent interference between the channels of the driving chips, but also can ensure that the size of the Chip-On-Film structure can satisfy the process requirements.


In an alternative embodiment, Referring to FIG. 4, when the Chip-On-Film structure comprises three driving chips, the spacings B between any two neighboring driving chips 32 in the direction perpendicular to the first direction may be greater than or equal to 4 mm.


In an alternative embodiment, Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the spacings C between the driving chips 32 and first boundaries of the first substrate 31 may be greater than or equal to 2 mm, wherein the first boundaries are the boundaries of the first substrate 31 that are perpendicular to the first direction, i.e., the left and right boundaries of the Chip-On-Film structure in FIGS. 3 and 4.


The Chip-On-Film structure according to the present embodiment, by arranging two or three driving chips at the same time on the first substrate, can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures in the displaying device, and increase the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures, thereby satisfying the requirements by the process and the production.


Another embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a displaying base plate, wherein the displaying base plate is applied to the Chip-On-Film structure according to any one of the above embodiments. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the displaying base plate comprises a binding region, and the binding region of the displaying base plate comprises: a second substrate 51; and one or more bonding pads 52 provided on one side of the second substrate 51, each of the bonding pads 52 comprises a plurality of second leads 53, and the second leads 53 are for binding different first leads 33.


In a particular embodiment, the quantity of the second leads 53 in each of the bonding pads 52 may be equal to the quantity of the first leads 33 in the Chip-On-Film structure, and the second leads 53 are for binding different first leads 33.


The displaying base plate according to the present embodiment, by providing at the binding region the bonding pads corresponding to the Chip-On-Film structure, can bind the Chip-On-Film structure stated above on the bonding pads of the displaying base plate. Because the Chip-On-Film structure stated above comprises the plurality of driving chips, the present embodiment can reduce the quantity of the Chip-On-Film structures that the displaying base plate requires to bind, and increase the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures, which, during the technical process of binding the Chip-On-Film structures, can prevent adverse effects by a high temperature on the Chip-On-Film structures that have been completely bound, thereby satisfying the requirements by the process and the production.


In an alternative embodiment, the displaying base plate according to the present embodiment may comprise a plurality of bonding pads 52, and the spacings D between two neighboring bonding pads 52 may be greater than or equal to 4 mm. Because the bonding pads in the binding region are used to bind the Chip-On-Film structures, when the spacings between two neighboring bonding pads are greater than or equal to 4 mm, that can ensure that the spacing between the Chip-On-Film structures is greater than or equal to 4 mm, thereby satisfying the requirements by the process.


In an alternative embodiment, when the first leads 33 are arranged into a predetermined quantity of rows, the second leads 53 are arranged in the first direction into the predetermined quantity of rows. For example, when the first leads 33 in the Chip-On-Film structure are arranged in the first direction into two rows, the second leads 53 of the bonding pads 52 are arranged in the first direction into two rows. When the first leads 33 in the Chip-On-Film structure are arranged in the first direction into three rows, the second leads 53 of the bonding pads 52 are arranged in the first direction into three rows.
