[0047] It should be noted that the embodiments in the utility model and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0048] It should be noted that: similar signs and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1-6 A kind of FPC structure of convenient multiple IC binding detection, including FPC body 1, there are two binding areas 11 on the FPC body 1, two binding areas 11 are respectively provided with first binding end 12 and second binding end 13, the FPC body 1 is bound and connected with TFT glass 2 by first binding end 12 and second binding end 13;

[0050] Wherein, bridge FPC 3 is bridged between first binding end 12 and second binding end 13, and first conducting structure is connected on the bridge FPC 3 for conducting first binding end 12 and second binding end 13;

[0051] Second conducting structure is provided on the two binding points of first binding end 12 and second binding end 13 of the TFT glass 2, and first binding end 12 and second binding end 13 can form test loop after being bound with TFT glass 2 under the action of second conducting structure;

[0052] The TFT glass 2 has first drive IC end 21 and second drive IC end 22, wherein the first drive IC end 21 and the second drive IC end 22 are respectively arranged corresponding to the first binding end 12 and the second binding end 13.

[0053] The second conducting structure is glass ITO wiring 4, and the glass ITO wiring 4 has two sections.

[0054] Two said glass ITO traces 4 are respectively arranged on the back of the first driving IC end 21 and the second driving IC end 22;

[0055] After the first driving IC end 21 and the second driving IC end 22 are bound with the corresponding first binding end 12 and the second binding end 13, the glass ITO trace 4 can be connected with the corresponding bridge FPC 3;

[0058] Through the design of the first conduction structure and the second conduction structure, the first binding end 12 and the second binding end 13 can be conducted.

[0061] The use process of the FPC structure for facilitating post-bonding detection of multi-IC provided by the utility model is as follows: the FPC bridge wiring is used to connect between the first bonding position 12 and the second bonding position 13, and then the glass ITO wiring is designed at the first drive IC end 21 and the second drive IC end 22, so that the first exposed copper test point 6, the glass ITO wiring (left side), the FPC bridge wiring 5, the glass ITO wiring (right side) and the second exposed copper test point 7 are in conduction after the FPC body 1 is bonded with the TFT glass 2, an external multimeter is connected to the first exposed copper test point 6 and the second exposed copper test point 7, the loop state is tested, and if short circuit is displayed, it indicates that the bonding state is good, and if short circuit is displayed, it indicates that re-bonding is needed.
