V. The description of the edge adhesive is a must. —— The material is covered with a soft layer 6 2 and it is conductive. (7) 6 6 The conductive film 72 is provided on the compound material layer, and is coated with printed electrical and other electronic wires. 64 is connected to the printed circuit board. 6 4 leads to the printed circuit. 6 8 is coated with 70 and is coated with conductive film. The conductive sheet 60 is systematically ground inside the board 60 and the liquid wire 62 and the metal wire insulating material 70. Therefore, the phenomenon of metallic conductive magnetic interference film 70 and the conductivity to the outside of the crystal display surface is grounded with gold 62 and the conductive layer 62 outside the conductive wire 62, and the phenomenon of systematic magnetic interference is avoided to avoid the ground metal of the board being the wire 64. Wires and insulation film 70 can be used to avoid metal. In addition, the connection is connected, so that it can be operated normally without electromagnetic interference. The phase display panel contains a channel that can reach the transmission frequency interference. Because of the large, soft printed metal interference, it is faster than the conventional thin film of liquid crystal displays and other electronic components. The effect of the metal on the electrostatic shielding is too fast. In addition, when the liquid crystal display of the present invention generates electromagnetic interference, the circuit board can be brushed with other electrical electromagnetic interference, or it can be wired to guide the electromagnetic interference. Panels, connector wires, and 'avoided electronic display panels' are not subcomponents. By virtue of the soft grounding to the outside world, the components do not affect the positive conductivity, which is produced by soft printed metal. Loudspeakers often operate the thin film to display the electric scale of the printed circuit board, which is used to brush the circuit wires. That is to say, the electrical connection is not included in the dual anti-liquid crystal display board. The ground due to the magnetic dryness of the circuit board is protected by the ground. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
