Abstract

A driving substrate is disclosed. The driving substrate includes a first substrate. The first substrate has a display zone and a border zone surrounding the display zone. The border zone includes at least one active area and at least one non-active area. The active area includes a first conductive layer disposed on the first substrate. The non-active area connects the active area to form the border zone. A display using the driving substrate is also disclosed.

Claims (17)

1. A driving substrate, comprising:

a first substrate comprising a display zone and a border zone surrounding the display zone, wherein the border zone comprises:

at least one active area comprising a first conductive layer and disposed on the first substrate; and

at least one non-active area connecting to the least one active area for forming the border zone, wherein the least one non-active area comprises a second conductive layer and a first insulating layer, and the second conductive layer is disposed on the first substrate and connected to the first conductive layer, and the first insulating layer is disposed on the second conductive layer.

2. The driving substrate of claim 1 , wherein the least one active area further comprises a second insulating layer and a third conductive layer, the second insulating layer is disposed on a part of the first conductive layer, and the third conductive layer covers the second insulating layer and is connected to the first conductive layer.

3. The driving substrate of claim , wherein the number of the least one active layer and the least one non-active layer is single.

4. The driving substrate of claim wherein the number of the least one active layer and the least one non-active layer is plural.

5. The driving substrate of claim 4 , wherein the active areas and the non-active areas are arranged alternatingly.

6. A display, comprising:

the driving substrate of claim 1 ;

a second substrate; and

a display layer disposed between the driving substrate and the second substrate.

7. The display of claim 6 , wherein the second substrate comprises a transparent substrate and a transparent conductive layer disposed between the transparent substrate and the display layer.

8. The display of claim 6 , wherein the least one active area further comprises a second insulating layer and a third conductive layer, the second insulating layer is disposed on a part of the first conductive layer, and the third conductive layer covers the second insulating layer and is connected to the first conductive layer.

9. The display of claim 6 , wherein the number of the least one active layer and the least one non-active layer is single.

10. The display of claim 6 , wherein the number of the least one active layer and the least one non-active layer is plural.

11. The display of claim 10 , wherein the active areas and the non-active areas are arranged alternatingly.
