For example, a plurality of connectors (hereinafter referred to as a first connector) provided on the pad portion of the control printed circuit board 160 are disposed on one side of the control printed circuit board 160, A plurality of connectors (hereinafter referred to as a second connector) provided in a pad portion of the first connector 170 are disposed. At this time, the contact portion of the first connector (not shown) and the contact portion of the second connector (not shown) may be connected to each other. Thus, the printed circuit board, the film, the film, and the display panel can be electrically connected to each other.

However, since the space of the control printed circuit board 160 and the film 170 is limited, There is a limit. In addition, there is a method of narrowing the width of each connector. However, when this method is applied, there is a problem that the current capacity of the connector is reduced, which may lead to an increase in the design, manufacture, and production cost due to the formation of the microconnector .

In order to solve such a problem, a novel structure of the connector is applied in this embodiment. This configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

2 is a view showing a printed circuit board and a film including the connector according to the first embodiment. Here, FIG. 2 shows an enlarged area of the pad portion included in the region A of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, the display apparatus according to the first embodiment includes a first connector 200 and a second connector 300 having different shapes from each other. For example, the first connector 200 may be disposed on the first printed circuit board 160, and the second connector 300 may be disposed on the first film 170.

Here, the first printed circuit board 160 may be a control printed circuit board, and the first film 170 may be a flexible flat cable. The first connector 200 and the second connector 300 may be disposed on the pad portions of the first printed circuit board 160 and the first film 170, respectively.

The first connector 200 may be divided into a first contact portion 210 and a first non-contact portion 220 and the second connector 300 may be divided into a second contact portion 310 and a second non- . Here, the first contact portion 210 of the first connector 200 and the second contact portion 310 of the second connector 300 may be connected to each other through bonding.

The width of the first contact portion 210 of the first connector 200 with respect to the gate line direction may be greater than the width of the first non-contact portion 220 with respect to the gate line direction. For example, the first connector 200 may have a T shape. However, the shape of the first connector 200 is not limited to this, and the width of the first contact portion 210 with respect to the gate line direction may be larger than the width of the first non-contact portion 220 with respect to the gate line direction Shape is sufficient.

The widths of the second contact portion 310 and the second non-contact portion 320 of the second connector 300 may be equal to each other with respect to the gate line direction. The width of the first connector 200 relative to the gate line direction of the first contact portion 210 is equal to the width of the second connector 300 along the gate line direction of the second contact portion 310 However, the present embodiment is not limited thereto.

That is, in the connectors according to the first embodiment, the width of the first non-contact portion 220 of the first connector 200 with respect to the gate line direction is larger than the width of the first contact portion 210 of the first connector 200, Contact portion 320 of the second connector 300 may be smaller than the width of the second contact portion 310 and the second non-contact portion 320,

Since the width of the first non-contact portion 220 of the first connector 200 is smaller than the width of the first contact portion 210 of the first connector 200, The distance between the non-contact portions 220 of the first connector 200 can be increased while the contact regions of the contact portions 210 and 310 of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are appropriately maintained. Thereby, the occurrence of impedance mismatch can be suppressed.

Specifically, both the contact portion and the non-contact portion of the connector have an influence on the impedance mismatching. In order to prevent impedance mismatching, the width of the contact portion and the non-contact portion of the connector (width in the direction with respect to the gate line direction) And the distance between the adjacent disposed connectors must be increased. However, since the area of the printed circuit board and the film is limited, the distance between the connectors can not be increased indefinitely, and the width of the connector is also limited in order to smooth the contact between the connectors.

The width of the first connector 200 according to the first embodiment is smaller than the width of the first contact portion 210 of the first connector 200 with respect to the gate line direction of the first non- The physical connection area between the connectors can be secured and the distance between the first non-contact portions 220 can be increased. That is, by making the widths of the first connector 200 and the first non-contact portion 220 different from each other with respect to the gate line direction, the current capacity of the connectors can be maintained, and impedance mismatch phenomenon Can be suppressed.

The structure of the above-described first connector will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 is a view showing a connector according to the first embodiment.

The width Z based on the gate line direction of the first non-contact portion 220 of the connector 200 according to the first embodiment is a width (width) with respect to the gate line direction of the first contact portion 210 of the connector 200 / RTI > can be up to two-thirds of (X). At this time, when the width Z based on the gate line direction of the first non-contact portion 220 exceeds 2/3 of the width X based on the gate line direction of the first contact portion 210, As the distance Y between the first non-contacting portions 220 approaches, the impedance mismatching phenomenon may increase.

Here, the third connector 201 and the fourth connector may be divided into contact portions 211 and 311 and non-contact portions 221 and 321, respectively.

The width of the contact portion 211 of the third connector 201 disposed on the first printed circuit board 160 with respect to the direction of the gate line and the width of the gate line of the non-contact portion 212 of the third connector 201, The width based on direction can be the same. Specifically, the third connector 201 may have an I-shape.

The width of the contact portion 311 of the fourth connector 301 disposed on the first film 170 with reference to the gate line direction is set so that the width of the gate line direction of the non-contact portion 321 of the fourth connector 301 is Can be made larger than the standard width.
