Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a chip on flex (COF), a touch assembly, and a display device. The chip on flex includes a flexible base provided with a first opening, the flexible base includes a bonding area provided with a plurality of metal bonding pads; on the flexible base, a spacing area with a preset range is provided between the first opening and the bonding area; wherein, the flexible base is provided with a reinforcement sheet thereon, the reinforcement sheet is located on a portion of the flexible base other than the first opening, the spacing area and the bonding area.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising a display assembly and a touch assembly, wherein the touch assembly comprises a touch panel, a chip on flex, and a touch flexible circuit board which is electrically connected to a control chip on the chip on flex through a metal connection terminal on the chip on flex, the chip on flex comprising a flexible base provided with a first opening, the flexible base comprising a bonding area provided with a plurality of metal bonding pads; on the flexible base, a spacing area with a preset range being provided between the first opening and the bonding area; wherein, the flexible base is provided with a reinforcement sheet thereon, the reinforcement sheet is located on a portion of the flexible base other than the first opening, the spacing area and the bonding area, wherein the reinforcement sheet is made of steel, wherein the display device further comprises a display flexible circuit board which is provided on a side of the display assembly away from the touch assembly;
a driver chip is provided on the display flexible circuit board, the chip on flex is bent at the spacing area, a portion on the flexible base away from the bonding area is stacked on the display flexible circuit board, and the driver chip is located in the first opening.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement sheet is provided on a surface of the flexible base opposite to the display flexible circuit board.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement sheet is provided at least along one edge of the first opening.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement sheet is provided with a second opening, and an orthographic projection of the first opening on a plane where the reinforcement sheet is located is inside the second opening or coincides with edges of the first opening.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of metal bonding pads in the bonding area are arranged along a first direction, the first opening is provided on a side away from the bonding area along a second direction, the second direction is vertical to the first direction;
between the first opening and the bonding area, a size range of the preset range in the first direction is equal to a size range of the flexible base in the first direction, and a size range of the preset range in the second direction is a preset width range from the bonding area.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein, in the second direction, a distance between the first opening and the bonding area is larger than a width value of the preset width range.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the metal bonding pads and the reinforcement sheet are located on a same surface of the flexible base.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the chip on flex further comprises a control chip which is located on a portion of the flexible base other than the first opening, the spacing area, the bonding area and the reinforcement sheet.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement sheet is adhered and fixed to the flexible base.
