Appeal No. 96-0439
Application 07/956,497
The invention relates to a semiconductor device for
controlling and driving display devices.
The independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor chip including segment signal outputting
means having a plurality of output nodes for outputting
segment signals for a display device controlled and selected
by segment signals and scanning signals, and scanning signal
outputting means having a plurality of output nodes for
outputting scanning signals for the display device;
a first outlet-terminal group including a plurality of
segment-signal outlet terminals arranged continuously at first
and second, opposite sides of the semiconductor chip at
predetermined intervals and respectively electrically
connected to corresponding output nodes of the segment signal
outputting means;
a second outlet-terminal group including a plurality of
scanning-signal outlet terminals disposed along the first side
of the semiconductor chip and arranged adjacent to the
segment-signal outlet terminals at the first side of the
semiconductor chip at predetermined intervals and respectively
electrically connected to corresponding output nodes of the
scanning signal outputting means; and
a third outlet-terminal group including a plurality of
scanning-signal outlet terminals disposed along the second
side of the semiconductor chip and arranged adjacent to the
segment-signal outlet terminals at the second side of the
semiconductor chip at predetermined intervals and respectively
electrically connected to corresponding output nodes of the
scanning signal outputting means.
