Narrow Bezel Flat Panel Display Recessed Connection Member

The connection member is extracted from the traditional position along the end edge of the thin film transistor substrate and relocated to pass through a recess formed on the end surface. This extraction from the harmful position eliminates the need for additional spacing that would otherwise increase the bezel area, while maintaining the essential electrical connection function.

The connection member is transitioned from a planar arrangement along the end edge to a three-dimensional arrangement passing through a recess. By utilizing the vertical dimension and forming a recess on the end surface, the connection member can be positioned without increasing the horizontal bezel area, effectively moving the problem from a two-dimensional constraint to a three-dimensional solution.

The connection member is nested within a recess formed on the end surface of the thin film transistor substrate. This nesting structure allows the connection member to be protected from friction and damage by surrounding structural components while occupying minimal additional space, as the recess utilizes the existing thickness dimension rather than requiring additional lateral spacing.

The recess structure provides beforehand cushioning and protection for the connection member by surrounding it with structural components. This preventive design eliminates the need for additional spacing to prevent friction and damage, as the connection member is already protected by its position within the recess before any potential contact with other components.
