Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal panel, and in particular to a liquid crystal panel, in a flexible printed circuit (Flexible Printed Circuit) (FPC), the connection between the dummy joint and the dummy pin is used to prevent the electrical connection between the effective contact and the effective terminal from being damaged by external forces. [Previous technology] With the rapid development and advancement of liquid crystal display technology, the new generation of liquid crystal display is moving in the direction of high brightness, wide viewing angle, fast response speed, high image resolution, and full color. However, there are many factors that affect these image characteristics, including the structure of liquid crystal molecules, the properties of transparent electrodes, the color filter, the structure of thin film transistors (TFTs), their thin film processes, and the alignment layer. ), And even the packaging materials, die bonding technology, and mounting methods used in the subsequent packaging process. Due to the high image resolution requirements of liquid crystal displays and the trend of thinner, lighter and shorter electronic products, the construction technology of driver ICs on LCD panels is transformed from chip-on-board bonding technology (Chip On Board, COB). It is a tape automatic bonding technology (Tape Automated Bonding, TAB), and then evolved into a chip on glass (COG) technology with a fine pitch between the pins. The general die-glass bonding technology (COG) is only an application of flip chip technology (Flip Chip, F / C). The key in the die-glass bonding technology is the production of bumps on the die and Assembly between a flexible printed circuit (FPC) and a liquid crystal panel. First, please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram showing the electrical connection between a bendable printed circuit and a patterned circuit on a conventional bendable printed circuit bonding area of a liquid crystal panel. During the die-glass bonding (C0g) process, the driving chip is electrically connected to the contacts of the patterned circuit 102 on the liquid crystal panel 100 through bumps thereon, and the driving chip is connected by the pattern. The circuit 102 is connected to the bendable printed circuit crimping area 104 on the liquid crystal panel 100. The conventional liquid crystal panel 100 is provided with a plurality of contacts 106 on the bendable printed circuit pressing region 104, and the contacts 106 on the bendable printed circuit pressing region 104 are used to communicate with A flexible printed circuit (FPC) 108 is electrically connected. The contact 106 on the bendable printed circuit bonding area passes through an anisotropic conductive film 3 16 (Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF)) and can be folded. The terminal 110 on the ridge is connected and it is completed. After the electrical connection between the flexible printed circuit (FPC) and the contacts on the flexible printed circuit bonding area is completed, it is easy to cause the edge area due to external forces in the subsequent assembly process. The electrical connection is broken, thus affecting the reliability of the product (Reliability). [Summary of the Invention] 1245943 07836twfl.doc / 006 94.8.18 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to propose a liquid crystal panel, which adds a dummy contact to a bendable printed circuit bonding area, and uses a corresponding The flexible printed circuit of the dummy terminal can prevent the electrical connection between the other effective contact and the effective terminal from being damaged by external force by the connection between the dummy contact and the dummy terminal. To achieve the above object of the present invention, a liquid crystal panel is proposed, which is mainly composed of a first array substrate, a second array substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The second array substrate is disposed above the first array substrate, and the liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first array substrate and the second array substrate. The first array substrate has a display area and a non-display area. The non-display area is provided with at least one wafer sticking area, a patterned circuit, and a bendable printed circuit bonding area. The flexible printed circuit (FPC) is connected to the liquid crystal panel through a bendable printed circuit bonding area. Wherein, the bendable printed circuit bonding area has a plurality of effective contacts and at least one pseudo contact, and the bendable printed circuit has a corresponding plurality of effective terminals and at least one pseudo terminal. The connection between the pseudo terminal and the pseudo contact can prevent the effective contact or effective terminal in the bendable printed circuit from being damaged by external force. Among them, the intended contact system is located at least on one side of the bendable printed circuit bonding area, and the intended terminal system is located at least on one side of the bendable printed circuit. The contacts on the bendable printed circuit bonding area of the present invention can be divided into a first block and at least a second block, for example. The second block may be located, for example, on one or both sides outside the first block. Among them, the first block 1245943 07836twfl.doc / 006 94.8.18 is configured with multiple effective contacts, and the second block is configured with at least one pseudo contact. The second block of the present invention is, for example, disposed on both sides of the first block. When an external force is applied, the connection between the pseudo contact and the pseudo terminal on the second block will be destroyed first, and the electrical connection between the effective contact and the effective terminal on the first block will be less susceptible to external forces. The number of pseudo contacts on the second block and corresponding pseudo terminals on the bendable printed circuit may be one to more.
