Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device 1000. Referring to FIG. 1, the display device 1000 may be any device that can display images whether in motion (e.g., a video) or stationary (e.g., a still image), and regardless of text or image. The display device 1000 may be, for example, any product or component having a display function, such as a television, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, an electronic photo, an electronic billboard or sign, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a navigator, a wearable device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, or the like.

In some embodiments, the display device 1000 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD) device; alternatively, the display device 1000 may be an electroluminescence display device or a photoluminescence display device. In a case where the display device 1000 is an electroluminescent display device, the electroluminescent display device may be an organic electroluminescent display device (organic light-emitting diode display device, OLED display device) or a quantum dot electroluminescent display device (quantum dot light-emitting diode display device, QLED display device). In a case where the display device 1000 is a photoluminescence display device, the photoluminescence display device may be a quantum photoluminescence display device (quantum dot light-emitting display device, QLED display device). The type of the display device 1000 is not limited in embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the display device 1000 includes a display module 1100. The display module 1100 includes a display panel 100, bonding circuit board(s) (X-printed circuit board, XPCB) 200, chip-on-films (COF) 300, and buffer devices 400 (as shown in FIG. 3). FIG. 3 shows an example in which the buffer device 400 are each a first resistor 410.

The display panel 100 may be, for example, one of an LCD display panel, an OLED display panel, and a QLED display panel. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit the type and structure of the display panel 100.

The bonding circuit boards 200 are located at a side of the display panel 100. For example, a bonding circuit board 200 may include various signal connection lines, the signal connection lines are configured to transmit external signals (such as power signals, gate on array (GOA) signals, clock control signals, etc.) to the display panel 100 through chip-on-films 300, so as to control the display panel 100 to display images.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the bonding circuit board 200 includes first differential lines 210, and the first differential line 210 includes a P-polarity differential sub-line 211 and an N-polarity differential sub-line 212. The first differential line 210 may be used to transmit a differential signal. For example, the differential signal may be a clock embedded differential signal (CEDS).

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, an end of the chip-on-film 300 is connected to the bonding circuit board 200 and connected to the first differential line 210, and the other end is connected to the display panel 100.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the chip-on-film 300 includes a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface circuit 310, and the LVDS interface circuit 310 includes a first signal receiving terminal V+, a second signal receiving terminal V−, a signal output terminal Out1 and a second resistor R20.

For example, the LVDS interface circuit 310 is connected to the first differential line 210, and specifically, it may be arranged as follows: the first signal receiving terminal V+ is connected to the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 of the first differential line 210, the second signal receiving terminal V− is connected to the N-polarity differential sub-line 212 of the first differential line 210, the signal output terminal Out1 is configured to be connected to the display panel 100, an end of the second resistor R20 is connected to the first signal receiving terminal V+, and the other end is connected to the second signal receiving terminal V−.

In the related art, the chip-on-film 300 serves as a signal receiving terminal during a transmission of the differential signal from the first differential line 210 to the chip-on-film 300. An impedance of the first differential line 210 is less than an impedance of the chip-on-film 300. For example, the impedance of the first differential line 210 may be set to 100 ohms (Ω), while the impedance of the chip-on-film 300 is greater than 100Ω. Thus, for the differential signal, the chip-on-film 300 is a high impedance circuit, and when the differential signal is transmitted from the first differential line 210 to the chip-on-film 300, this process is equivalent to that the differential signal jumps from 1000 to a high impedance, which may cause the differential signal to generate signal reflection at an end of the first differential line 210 connected to the chip-on-film 300, and further cause the chip-on-film 300 not to receive the differential signal, or erroneously identify the differential signal, which may cause the display panel 100 to generate a poor display.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the display module 1100 provided in embodiments of the present disclosure includes the buffer devices 400, referring to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4. Buffer devices 400 are arranged on the bonding circuit board 200, and a buffer device 400 is connected to ends, proximate to the chip-on-film 300, of the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 and the N-polarity differential sub-line 212, and the buffer device 400 is configured to reduce signal reflection between the first differential line 210 and the chip-on-film 300.

In the display module 1100 provided in the embodiments of the disclosure, since the buffer device 400 is arranged at the ends, proximate to the chip-on-film 300, of the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 and the N-polarity differential sub-line 212, the buffer device 400 is capable of reducing the signal reflection between the first differential line 210 and the chip-on-film 300. In this way, it may reduce a risk of the reflection of the differential signal during the transmission of the differential signal from the first differential line 210 to the chip-on-film 300, improve the reliability of signal transmissions, and reduce a risk of display abnormalities in the display panel 100.

In some embodiments, the buffer device 400 may include a first resistor 410 (as shown in FIG. 3) or a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) buffer 420 (as shown in FIG. 4). The first resistor 410 and the LVDS buffer 420 both are capable of reducing the risk of the signal reflection of the differential signal between the first differential line 210 and the chip-on-film 300.

In a case where the buffer device 400 includes the first resistor 410, referring to FIG. 3, an end of the first resistor 410 is connected to the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 and the other end is connected to the N-polarity differential sub-line 211. The first resistor 410 is equivalent to a signal receiving terminal, so that an impedance of an end of the first differential line 210 proximate to the chip-on-film 300 can be equivalent to a resistance of the first resistor 410. When the differential signal is transmitted to the end of the first differential line 210, the impedance of the line for transmitting the differential signal is equivalent to the resistance of the first resistor 410, i.e., the impedance changes from a value equal to the impedance of the first differential line 210 to a value equal to the resistance of the first resistor 41. In this way, a jump of the differential signal from low resistance to high resistance at the end of the first differential line proximate to the chip-on-film can be reduced by controlling the resistance of the first resistor 410, thereby reducing the risk of reflection of the differential signal, improving the transmission quality of the differential signal, and reducing the risk of poor display of the display panel.

In some embodiments, the resistance of the first resistor 410 is substantially equal to the impedance of the first differential line 210. Thus, when the differential signal is transmitted at the end of the first differential line 210 proximate to the chip-on-film 300, the impedance of the signal transmission line is not changed, and the risk of the reflection of the differential signal can be effectively reduced.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the impedance of the first differential line 210 is 100Ω. In a case where the impedance of the first differential line 210 is 100Ω, the resistance of the first resistor 410 is 100Ω.

In some embodiments, the first resistor 410 may be a chip resistor The chip resistor may also be referred to as a chip fixed resistor, which has a small volume and high reliability, and is advantageous for the connection of the first resistor 410 with the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 and the N-polarity differential sub-line 212 of the first differential line 210.

For example, a package size of the chip resistor may be less than or equal to a 0402 package size (the 0402 package size has a length of 0.04 inches and a width of 0.02 inches). For example, the package size of the chip resistor may be the 0402 package size (the length of 1.00±0.10 mm, the width of 0.50±0.10 mm, and a height of 0.30±0.10 mm), or may be a 0201 package size (the 0201 package size has a length of 0.024 inches and a width of 0.012 inches, i.e., the length of 0.60±0.05 mm, the width of 0.30±0.05 mm, and a height of 0.23±0.05 mm). Therefore, the chip resistor may have a small packaging size, and the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 and the N-polarity differential sub-line 212 of the first differential line 210 may have a small distance therebetween, thereby improving the anti-interference capability of the first differential line 210.

Referring to FIG. 4, in a case where the buffer device 400 includes the LVDS buffer 420, the LVDS buffer 420 includes a first input terminal In+, a second input terminal In−, a first output terminal Out2, and a second output terminal Out3. The chip-on-film 300 is connected to the first differential line 210 through the LVDS buffer 420. The first input terminal In+ may be connected to the P-polarity differential sub-line 211 of the first differential line 210, the second input terminal In− may be connected to the N-polarity differential sub-line 212 of the first differential line 210, and the first output terminal Out2 and the second output terminal Out3 are both connected to the chip-on-film 300.

For example, in a case that the chip-on-film 300 includes the LVDS interface circuit 310, referring to FIG. 4, the first output terminal Out2 may be electrically connected to the first signal receiving terminal V+, and the second output terminal Out3 may be connected to the second signal receiving terminal V−.

In some embodiments, the resistance of the second resistor R20 is substantially equal to the impedance of the first differential line 210, and the second resistor R20 includes two sub-resistors R21 connected in series, where the two sub-resistors R21 have a same resistance. For example, in the case where the impedance of the first differential line 210 is 100Ω, the resistance of the second resistor R20 is 100Ω, where a resistance of each sub-resistor R21 is 50Ω. Based on this, a bias voltage signal may be applied to a line between the two sub-resistors R21 depending on actual requirements to adjust the differential signal, and the embodiments of the disclosure do not specifically limit the setting of the bias voltage.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5, the display module 1100 may include a plurality of bonding circuit boards 200, and the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200 are arranged at intervals along a first direction X (a horizontal direction in FIG. 5). The first direction X is parallel to a side edge of the display panel 100 (a lower side edge of the display panel 100 in FIG. 5) where the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200 are located.

According to the magnitude of a size of the display panel 100, a number of the bonding circuit boards 200 included in the display module 1100 may be flexibly set depending on actual requirements. For example, referring to FIG. 5, the display module may include four bonding circuit boards 200.

The display module 1100 further includes a driving circuit board 500 (timing controller (TCON) circuit board) and a plurality of flexible connectors 600. The driving circuit board 500 is configured to output differential signals.

For example, the driving circuit board 500 may include a timing controller TCON, and the timing controller TCON is configured to output the differential signals. For example, the differential signals may be CEDS signals.

Each bonding circuit board 200 is connected to the driving circuit board 500 through at least one flexible connector 600. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, each bonding circuit board 200 may be electrically connected to the driving circuit board 500 through two flexible connectors 600. One of the flexible connectors 600 is configured to transmit a differential signal, and the other flexible connector 600 (referring to the sixth flexible connector 600F below) is configured to transmit other signals such as a power signal or a GOA signal.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the flexible connector 600 includes a wiring layer 610, and the wiring layer 610 includes second differential lines 611. An end of a second differential line 611 is connected to the driving circuit board 500, and the other end is connected to the first differential line 210 (as shown in FIG. 10).

For example, the second differential line 611 includes a second P-polarity differential sub-line 6111 and a second N-polarity differential sub-line 6112, the second P-polarity differential sub-line 6111 is electrically connected to the P-polarity differential sub-line (may be regarded as a first P-polarity differential sub-line) 211 of the first differential sub-line 210, and the second N-polarity differential sub-line 6112 is electrically connected to the N-polarity differential sub-line (may be regarded as a first N-polarity differential sub-line) 212 of the first differential line 210.

In some embodiments, the flexible connector 600 may include at least one of a flexible flat cable (FFC) and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. For example, the flexible connector 600 includes an FFC.

It can be understood that the plurality of flexible connectors 600 may be all FFC s, or all FPC boards, or include multiple FFCs and multiple FPC boards, which is not specifically limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the plurality of flexible connectors 600 are all FFCs.

As the size of the display panel 100 increases, a length of the flexible connector 600 also increases. A differential signal transmitted by the second differential lines 611 in the flexible connector 600 is more susceptible to interference, and is prone to signal attenuation, which may result in the differential signal transmitted to the chip-on-film 300 not being received by the chip-on-film 300 or not being correctly identified.

In order to solve the above problems, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6, at least one flexible connector 600 further includes at least one shielding layer 620. The shielding layer 620 refers to a film layer capable of shielding external signal interference, and may be, for example, a mesh copper layer.

Along a thickness direction (third direction Z) of the wiring layer 610, the at least one shielding layer 620 is arranged on at least one side of the wiring layer 610. For example, both sides of the wiring layer 610 each are provided with a shielding layer 620 thereon. The shielding layer 620 covers the second differential lines 611, so that the shielding layer 620 is capable of shielding external signals and reducing an interference of the external signals on the differential signals on the second differential line 611.

Of course, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, there may be at least one flexible connector 600 without a shielding layer 620. Referring to FIG. 5, a length of a flexible connector 600-1 provided with a shielding layer 620 is greater than a length of a flexible connector 600-2 without a shielding layer 620.

It can also be understood that, in a case where a length of a flexible connector 600 is greater than a preset value, the flexible connector 600 may include a shielding layer 620 to reduce interference of the external signals on the differential signal on the second differential line 611; while in a case where a length of a flexible connector 600 is less than the preset value, the flexible connector 600 may not be provided with a shielding layer. For example, by considering an example in which the flexible connector 600 is an FFC, the preset value may go from 300 mm to 500 mm, inclusive. For example, the preset value may be 300 mm. i.e., in a case where the length of the FFC is greater than or equal to 300 mm, the FFC may include the shielding layer 620; conversely, in a case where the length of the FFC is less than 300 mm, the FFC may not be provided with the shielding layer 620. For example, the preset value may be 400 mm, 450 mm or 500 mm, and embodiments of the present disclosure are not listed one by one.

In some embodiments, in order to reduce the length of the flexible connector 600, and reduce the attenuation of the differential signal on the second differential line 611 of the flexible connector 600, referring to FIG. 8, a dimension D1, along the first direction X, of the driving circuit board 500 is greater than a distance D2, along the first direction X, between two bonding circuit boards 200 of the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200 at both ends; and along a second direction Y, at least a portion of each bonding circuit board 200 is opposite to the driving circuit board 500. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

The portion of the bonding circuit board 200 opposite to the driving circuit board 500 is connected to the driving circuit board 500 through at least one flexible connector 600. In this way, by setting the driving circuit board 500 to be of a special-shaped structure (irregular structure) and increasing the size of the driving circuit board 500 along the first direction X, sizes of flexible connectors 600 connected between the driving circuit board 500 and a bonding circuit board 200 at each of the both ends may be reduced, thereby reducing the attenuation of the differential signal on the second differential line 611 of the flexible connector 600.

It can be understood that for signal lines with a same length, an attenuation degree of the differential signal on the driving circuit board 500 and the bonding circuit board 200 is less than an attenuation degree of the differential signal on the flexible connector (FFC) 600.

In some embodiments, lengths of the plurality of flexible connectors 600 are substantially equal. That is, a side edge of the driving circuit board 500 proximate to the display panel 100 is substantially parallel to the first direction X, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of differential signals received by different chip-on-films 300, and improving the commonality of the flexible connector 600, so as to facilitate the assembly of the display module 1100.

For example, referring to FIG. 8, an extension direction of a length of the flexible connector 600 is substantially parallel to the second direction Y. It can be understood that the extension direction of the length of the flexible connector 600 is parallel to an extension direction of the second differential line 611.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the driving circuit board 500 includes a main body portion 510 and extension portions 520 located at two opposite sides of the main body portion 510 along the first direction X, and dimensions of the extension portions 520 along the second direction Y each are less than a dimension of the main body portion 510 along the second direction Y. The driving circuit board 500 includes a timing controller TCON arranged on the main body portion 510, the timing controller TCON configured to output differential signals. The dimension of the extension portion 520 along the second direction Y is less than the dimension of the main body portion 510 along the second direction Y, facilitating the mounting of the timing controller TCON.

For example, the extension portion 520 is provided with third differential lines 521 thereon, an end of a third differential line 521 is connected to the timing controller TCON, and the other end is connected to a second differential line 611 of a flexible connector 600, so that a differential signal output by the timing controller TCON is transmitted to the LVDS interface circuit 310 (not shown in the figure) of the chip-on-film 300 through the third differential line 521, the second differential line 611 and the first differential line 210 in sequence.

In some embodiments, to reduce an attenuation degree of the differential signal on the flexible connector 600, referring to FIG. 9, the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200 include first bonding circuit board(s) 200A and second bonding circuit board(s) 200B which are arranged adjacent to each other. Along the second direction Y, at least a portion of a first bonding circuit board 200A is opposite to the driving circuit board 500, and a second bonding circuit board 200B is staggered from the driving circuit board 500. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

That is, a dimension of the driving circuit board 500 along the first direction X is less than a distance between two bonding circuit boards 200 at both ends; and along the second direction Y, some of the bonding circuit boards 200 opposite to driving circuit board 500 are referred to as first bonding circuit boards 200A, and some of the bonding circuit boards 200 staggered from driving circuit board 500 are referred to as second bonding circuit boards 200B.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the display module 1100 includes four bonding circuit boards 200; along the first direction X, two bonding circuit boards 200 located in the middle are first bonding circuit boards 200A and two bonding circuit boards 200 located on both sides are second bonding circuit boards 200B.

The plurality of flexible connectors 600 include first flexible connector(s) 600A, second flexible connector(s) 600B, and third flexible connector(s) 600C.

The first bonding circuit board 200A is connected to the driving circuit board 500 through a first flexible connector 600A and a second flexible connector 600B. The first flexible connector 600A is configured to transmit a differential signal required by a chip-on-film 300 connected to the first bonding circuit board 200A, and the second flexible connector 600B is configured to transmit a differential signal required by a chip-on-film 300 connected to the second bonding circuit board 200B.

An end of a third flexible connector 600C is connected to the first bonding circuit board 200A and the other end is connected to the second bonding circuit board 200B. The differential signal transmitted by the second flexible connector 600C is transmitted to the second bonding circuit board 200B through the first bonding circuit board 200A and the third flexible connector 600C in sequence.

Referring to FIG. 10, only some of the signal lines, not all of the signal lines, are exemplarily shown in FIG. 10 for the sake of example.

The first bonding circuit board 200A includes a first differential line 210 and a first transition line 220, and the third flexible connector 600C includes a second transition line 630.

An end of the first differential line 210 of the first bonding circuit board 200A is connected to the first flexible connector 600A (the second differential line 611), and the other end is connected to the chip-on-film 300 connected to the first bonding circuit board 200A.

An end of the first transition line 220 is connected to the second flexible connector 600B, and the other end is connected to an end of the second transition line 630. The other end of the second transition line 630 is connected to a first differential line 210 of the second bonding circuit board 200B.

The first differential line 210 of the second bonding circuit board 200B is connected to the other end of the second transition line 630. Thus, the differential signal, which is sent by the driving circuit board 500 and is required by the chip-on-film 300 connected to the second bonding circuit board 200B, is transmitted to the first differential line 210 of the second bonding circuit board 200B through the second flexible connector 600B (the second differential line 611), the first transition line 220 of the first bonding circuit board 200A, and the second transition line 630 of the third flexible connector 600C in sequence, and then is transmitted to the chip-on-film 300 connected to the second bonding circuit board 200B.

Thus, a length of a transmission path of the differential signal required by the second bonding circuit board 200B on the flexible connector 600 may be reduced by the way in which the first bonding circuit board 200A transfers the differential signal required by the second bonding circuit board 200B, thereby reducing the attenuation degree of the differential signal.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 11, the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200 further include third bonding circuit board(s) 200C each arranged adjacent to a second bonding circuit board 200B, and the third bonding circuit board 200C is located on a side of second bonding circuit board 200B away from the first bonding circuit board 200A. That is, a bonding circuit board of the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200, which is located on the side of the second bonding circuit board 200B away from the first bonding circuit board 200A is the third bonding circuit board 200C. Along the second direction Y, the third bonding circuit board 200C is staggered from the driving circuit board 500.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200 further include two third bonding circuit boards 200C, and along the first direction X, the two third bonding circuit boards 200C are located at the both ends of the plurality of bonding circuit boards 200.

The plurality of flexible connectors 600 further include fourth flexible connector(s) 600D and fifth flexible connector(s) 600E.

An end of a fourth flexible connector 600D is connected to the first bonding circuit board 200A, and the other end is connected to the driving circuit board 500. The fourth flexible connector 600D is configured to transmit a differential signal required by a chip-on-film 300 connected to the third bonding circuit board 200C.

An end of fifth flexible connector 600E is connected to second bonding circuit board 200B and the other end is connected to third bonding circuit board 200C. The differential signal transmitted by the fourth flexible connector 600D is transmitted to the third bonding circuit board 200C through the first bonding circuit board 200A, the third flexible connector 600C, the second bonding circuit board 200B, and the fifth flexible connector 600E in sequence.

For example, referring to FIG. 12, the first bonding circuit board 200A includes a third transition line 230, the third flexible connector 600C includes a fourth transition line 640, the second bonding circuit board 200B includes a fifth transition line 240, and the fifth flexible connector 600E includes a sixth transition line 650. In FIG. 12, only some of signal lines, not all of the signal lines, of the bonding circuit boards 200 and the flexible connectors 600 are exemplarily shown.

The third transition line 230, the fourth transition line 640, the fifth transition line 240, and the sixth transition line 650 are connected in sequence, the third transition line 230 is further connected to the fourth flexible connector 600D, and the sixth transition line 650 is further connected to the third bonding circuit board 200C.

Thus, the differential signal, which is sent by the driving circuit board 500 and is required by the chip-on-film 300 connected to the third bonding circuit board 200C, is transmitted to the first differential line 210 of the third bonding circuit board 200C through the fourth flexible connector 600D (the second differential line 611), the third transition line 230 of the first bonding circuit board 200A, the fourth transition line 640 of the third flexible connector 600C, the fifth transition line 240 of the second bonding circuit board 200B, and the sixth transition line 650 of the fifth flexible connector 600E in sequence, and then is transmitted to the chip-on-film 300 connected to the third bonding circuit board 200C.

Similar to the above embodiments, a length of a transmission path of the differential signal required by the third bonding circuit board 200C on flexible connectors 600 may be reduced in these embodiments by the way in which the bonding circuit boards and the flexible connectors transfer the differential signal required by the third bonding circuit board 200C, thereby reducing the attenuation degree of the differential signal.

It can be understood that as the number of the bonding circuit boards 200 increases, flexible connector(s) 600 may be added in a similar manner, that is, a differential signal required by a bonding circuit board 200 at the edge of the bonding circuit boards is transmitted to this bonding circuit boards 200 through a bonding circuit board 200 at the middle thereof and flexible connector 600 between adjacent bonding circuit boards 200 in sequence.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 9, in a case where the display module includes the first flexible connector 600A and the second flexible connector 600B, a length (a dimension along the second direction Y) of the first flexible connector 600A is equal to a length (a dimension along the second direction Y) of the second flexible connector 600B, and/or an extension direction of the length of the first flexible connector 600A and an extension direction of the length of the second flexible connector 600B are substantially parallel to the second direction Y. In this way, the lengths of the first flexible connector 600A and the second flexible connector 600B can be reduced to the greatest extent, so as to reduce a length of a transmission path of differential signals on the first flexible connector 600A and the second flexible connector 600B, and reduce the attenuation degree of the differential signals.

As shown in FIG. 11, in a case where the display module includes the first flexible connector 600A, the second flexible connector 600B, and the fourth flexible connector 600D, lengths of the first flexible connector 600A, the second flexible connector 600B, and the fourth flexible connector 600D are equal, and/or extending directions of the lengths of the first flexible connector 600A, the second flexible connector 600B, and the fourth flexible connector 600D are substantially parallel to the second direction Y. In this way, the lengths of the first flexible connector 600A, the second flexible connector 600B and the fourth flexible connector 600D can be reduced to the greatest extent, so as to reduce lengths of transmission paths of differential signals on the first flexible connector 600A, the second flexible connector 600B and the fourth flexible connector 600D, and reduce the attenuation degree of the differential signals.

In a case where the display module further includes a plurality of third bonding circuit boards 200C, a plurality of fourth flexible connectors 600D, and a plurality of fifth flexible connectors 600E, the plurality of third bonding circuit boards 200C are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line L1 of the display panel 100 along the second direction Y, the plurality of fourth flexible connectors 600D are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line L1 of the display panel 100 along the second direction Y, and the plurality of fifth flexible connectors 600E are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line L1 of the display panel 100 along the second direction Y.

Thus, a distance between a bonding circuit board 200, which is farthest from the driving circuit board 500, and the driving circuit board 500 may be reduced, and the length of the transmission path of the differential signal may be reduced.

In some embodiments, the plurality of flexible connectors 600 further include a plurality of sixth flexible connectors 600F, each bonding circuit board 200 is connected to the driving circuit board 500 through one of the sixth flexible connectors 600F, and the sixth flexible connector 600F includes a trace for transmitting a power signal.
