Abstract

The present disclosure provides an integrated circuit comprising a main body and pins. The main body has a top and a bottom. The pins comprise upper pins placed on the top of the main body, and lower pins placed on the bottom of the main body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An integrated circuit comprising:
a main body having a top and a bottom; and upper pins placed on the top of the main body, and lower pins placed on the bottom of the main body.

2 . The integrated circuit of claim 1 , wherein at least one of a size and a shape of the upper pins and the lower pins are the same or different.

3 . The integrated circuit of claim 1 , wherein the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from a side of the integrated circuit and are bent so as to face surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body, respectively, and to be parallel to the same.

4 . The integrated circuit of claim 1 , wherein the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from a side of the integrated circuit and are bent so as to not face surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body, respectively, but to be parallel to the same.

5 . The integrated circuit of claim 1 , wherein the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from a side of the integrated circuit and are bent so as to touch surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body, respectively.

6 . The integrated circuit of claim 1 , wherein the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body of the integrated circuit.

7 . A circuit board comprising:
a printed circuit board; and an integrated circuit mounted on the printed circuit board, the integrated circuit comprising:
a main body having a top and a bottom; and
upper pins placed on the top of the main body, and lower pins placed on the bottom of the main body.

8 . A display device comprising:
a display panel; a first circuit board and a second circuit board that are placed separately to transmit at least one of a signal and a voltage to the display panel; and a first integrated circuit and a second integrated circuit that are mounted on the first circuit board and the second circuit board, respectively, wherein the first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit have symmetrical pin arrangements.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the first and second integrated circuits each comprise:
a main body having a top and a bottom; and upper pins placed on the top of the main body, and lower pins placed on the bottom of the main body.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first integrated circuit is mounted on the first circuit board so that the top of the main body is visible, and the second integrated circuit is mounted on the second circuit board so that the bottom of the main body is visible.

11 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein at least one of a size and a shape of the upper pins and the lower pins are the same or different.

12 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from a side of the first and/or second integrated circuit and are bent so as to face surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body, respectively, and be parallel to the same, or
the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from a side of the first and/or second integrated circuit and are bent so as to not face surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body, respectively, but to be parallel to the same, or the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from a side of the first and/or second integrated circuit and are bent so as to touch surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body, respectively, or the upper pins and the lower pins protrude from surfaces of the top and bottom of the main body of the first and/or second integrated circuit.

13 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the first and/or second integrated circuit comprises a level shifter that generates and outputs clock signals.
