Abstract
A device includes a substrate with a curvilinear perimeter segment adjoined to a plurality of facets, a display area, a border area surrounding the display area, and connection pads, divided into groups corresponding to the facets, in the border area. A flexible circuit board with arms coupled to the groups of connection pads is included. Another device includes a substrate having a display area, first connection pads within a border area peripheral to the display area, and a flexible circuit board having a first portion including second connection pads configured to be coupled to the first connection pads, and a second portion configured to accommodate a plurality of transmission lines extending from the second connection pads. An arc length of the first portion can be greater than that of the second portion and a center-to-center pitch of the second connection pads can be greater than that of the transmission lines.
