Abstract

A display panel includes a substrate and a first layer of wires. The first layer of wires are disposed on the substrate. A lower portion of the first layer of wires includes a first high attachment metal layer, an upper portion of the first layer of wires includes a second high attachment metal layer, and a middle of the first layer of wires includes an intermediate electroconductive layer. The first layer of wires are connected to a column scan driver of the display panel.
