[0039] Specifically, the backlight source 100 uses a semiconductor component as a light-emitting unit LU. In the backlight source of some embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting unit LU is a mini light-emitting diode (mini Light Emitting Diode, mini-LED). In other embodiments, the light-emitting unit LU is a light-emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED), an organic light-emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED) or a micro light-emitting diode (Micro Light Emitting Diode, micro-LED), etc., but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0053] Specifically, the present application does not limit the package pins, pin naming and pin functions of the driver chip DU. Specifically, the shapes of each pad, such as round, square, rectangular, etc., are also not limited in the present application.

[0054] For details, please refer to Figure 6In the pad area PA' of the partition MD' of another embodiment of the present application, a plurality of pads are arranged in two rows.
