In a display device including a display panel and a multi-layered printed
circuit board which is arranged along one side of the display panel and
is electrically connected to a plurality of leads of the display panel
through a plurality of tape carrier packages, according to the present
invention, a plurality of slits or notches are formed in a sheet fiber
member which is impregnated with resin and constitutes a base sheet of
the multi-layered printed circuit board along one side of the display
panel. The discontinuity of the sheet fiber member formed by the slits or
the notches absorbs the difference in thermal expansion of the
multi-layered printed circuit board and the display panel due to the
change of an ambient temperature of the display device and hence, it is
possible to prevent peeling of the tape carrier package from the display
panel or breaking of the tape carrier package per se.
