Flexible circuit board and display module

The invention provides a flexible circuit board and a display module, and belongs to the technical field of display. The flexible circuit board comprises a flexible substrate (100), a driving chip (200) and a protective layer (300), and the driving chip (200) is arranged in a chip binding area of the flexible substrate (100); the protection layer (300) is arranged on the side, away from the flexible substrate (100), of the driving chip (200), the protection layer (300) comprises an electrostatic discharge layer (310), and the orthographic projection of the electrostatic discharge layer (310) on the flexible substrate (100) and the orthographic projection of the driving chip (200) on the flexible substrate (100) are at least partially overlapped. The electrostatic discharge layer (310) can play a role in electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic shielding, which is helpful for improving the ESD protection capability and electromagnetic shielding capability of the flexible circuit board and improving the prod
