Display signal lines and methods of fabricating the same
View Patent ↗Display substrates are disclosed. In one aspect, display substrates include a first signal line, a second signal line, a first detour signal line and a second detour signal line. The first signal line includes a first region and a pair of second regions disposed on opposite sides of the first region. The pair of second regions are spaced apart from the first region. The second signal line crosses the first signal line. The second signal line includes a third region and a pair of fourth regions disposed on opposite sides of the third region. The pair of fourth regions are spaced apart from the third region. The first detour signal line electrically connects the pair of second regions to each other. The second detour signal line electrically connects the pair of fourth regions to each other. Related methods are also disclosed.
1. A display substrate comprising:
a first signal line disposed on a base substrate, the first signal line including a first region and a pair of second regions disposed on opposite sides of the first region and spaced apart from the first region;
a second signal line insulated from the first signal line and disposed to cross the first signal line, the second signal line including a third region and a pair of fourth regions disposed on opposite sides of the third region and spaced apart from the third region;
a first detour signal line insulated from the second signal line and the first region by a first insulation layer and electrically connected to each of the pair of second regions; and
a second detour signal line insulated from the first signal line and the first detour signal line by a second insulation layer and electrically connected to each of the pair of fourth regions, wherein the first detour signal line and the second detour signal line overlap on the first and third regions,
wherein the first insulation layer covers at least the first and third regions and exposes a portion of each of the second regions, and
wherein a length of the first insulation layer is longer than the first detour signal line and shorter than the first signal line.
2. The display substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first signal line is a data line and the second signal line is a scan line.
3. The display substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first signal line is a power supply line and the second signal line is a scan line.
4. The display substrate of claim 1 , wherein the second insulation layer covers at least the first and third regions and exposes a portion of each of the fourth regions, and
wherein a length of the second insulation layer is longer than the second detour signal line and shorter than the second signal line.
5. A display substrate comprising:
a first signal line disposed in a first layer and extending in a first direction on a base substrate;
a second signal line insulated from the first signal line and disposed to cross the first signal line in a second layer over the first layer, and extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
a first insulation layer covering at least the first signal line in an intersection region of the first and second signal lines and exposing first and second segments of the first signal line located on opposite sides of the intersection region;
a first detour signal line disposed in a third layer on the first insulation layer electrically connecting the first segment of the first signal line to the second segment of the first signal line;
a second insulation layer covering at least the first detour signal line and exposing first and second segments of the second signal line located on opposite sides of the intersection region; and
a second detour signal line disposed in a fourth layer on the second insulation layer electrically connecting the first segment of the second signal line to the second segment of the second signal line,
wherein the first and second signal lines in the intersection region are electrically isolated from the first and second segments of each of the first and second signal lines and wherein the first and the second detour signal lines overlap on the intersection region, wherein a length of the first insulation layer is longer than the first detour signal line and shorter than the first signal line in the first direction, and
wherein a length of the second insulation layer is longer than the second detour signal line and shorter than the second signal line in the second direction.
6. The display substrate of claim 5 , wherein the first signal line is a data line and the second signal line is a scan line.
7. The display substrate of claim 5 , wherein the first signal line is a power supply line and the second signal line is a scan line.
