System for displaying images
View Patent ↗A system for displaying images is disclosed. A display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. A sealant is interposed between the first substrate and a second substrate for sealing the liquid crystal layer. A dielectric layer is overlying the first substrate. Metal lines are overlying the dielectric layer under and/or near the sealant. A planarization layer covers and contacts the dielectric layer and the metal lines to form a first interface between the metal lines and the planarization layer and a second interface between the dielectric layer and the planarization layer. Bridge lines without contacting the planarization layer are disposed under and/or near the sealant, instead of at least a portion of the metal lines contacting the planarization layer.
1. A system for display images, comprising:
a display panel, comprising:
a first substrate and a second substrate with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween;
a sealant between the first substrate and a second substrate for sealing the liquid crystal layer;
a dielectric layer overlying the first substrate;
metal lines overlying the dielectric layer under and/or near the sealant;
a planarization layer covering and contacting the dielectric layer and the metal lines to form a first interface between the metal lines and the planarization layer and a second interface between the dielectric layer and the planarization layer; and
bridge lines without contacting the planarization layer, disposed under and/or near the sealant, instead of at least a portion of the metal lines contacting the planarization layer,
wherein bridge lines are disposed at a non-display region, the bridge lines and the metal lines are disposed at different layers with an interlayer dielectric layer therebetween, and the bridge lines and the metal lines are connected through vias in the interlayer dielectric layer.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first substrate comprises a region of driver ICs and the metal lines is extended thereto.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal lines include a plurality of signal lines beyond an array region and a driving region.
4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , the first substrate comprises an array region and scanning lines therein, the scanning lines and the bridge lines simultaneously formed by using a process.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first substrate comprises an array region and data lines therein, the data lines and the metal lines simultaneously formed by using a process.
6. The system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a display device, wherein the display panel forms a portion of the display device.
7. The system as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises:
the display device; and
an input unit coupled to the display device and operative to provide input to the display device such that the display device displays images.
8. The system as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone, digital camera, PDA (personal digital assistant), notebook computer, desktop computer, television, car display, or portable DVD player.
