Abstract

An electronic device includes a substrate, a first signal line, an insulating layer, a first transparent conductive layer and a metal layer. The first signal line is disposed on the substrate. The insulating layer is disposed on the first signal line and has an opening. The first transparent conductive layer is disposed on the insulating layer. The metal layer is disposed between the insulating layer and the first transparent conductive layer. The metal layer is electrically connected to the first transparent conductive layer. At least a portion of the metal layer and at least a portion of the first transparent conductive layer are disposed in the opening.

Claims (30)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

a substrate;

a first signal line disposed on the substrate;

an insulating layer disposed on the first signal line and having an opening;

a first transparent conductive layer disposed on the insulating layer; and

a metal layer electrically connected to the first transparent conductive layer and disposed between the insulating layer and the first transparent conductive layer;

wherein at least a portion of the metal layer and at least a portion of the first transparent conductive layer are disposed in the opening,

wherein the insulating layer is disposed between the first signal line and the metal layer.

2 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a second transparent conductive layer disposed on the insulating layer, wherein the metal layer is disposed between the second transparent conductive layer and the first transparent conductive layer.

3 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the metal layer directly contacts the first transparent conductive layer.

4 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is overlapped with a part of the first signal line.

5 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a second signal line disposed between the substrate and the insulating layer.

6 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the metal layer is overlapped with a part of the second signal line.

7 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein as measured in an extending direction of the second signal line, a width of the metal layer is greater than a width of the first signal line.

8 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a semiconductor disposed between the first signal line and the substrate and electrically connected to the first signal line.

9 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a material of the semiconductor comprises amorphous silicon, low temperature polysilicon or metal oxide.

10 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

another substrate disposed opposite to the substrate.

11 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

a plurality of light filter elements disposed between the substrate and the another substrate.

12 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising:

a shielding layer disposed between the another substrate and the plurality of light filter elements.

13 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a display area; and

a non-display area adjacent to the display area, wherein the metal layer is disposed in the display area and the non-display area.

14 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the non-display area comprises a de-multiplexer circuits area, an electrostatic discharge circuits area, and a fanout area.

15 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a signal is transmitted from the non-display area to the display area through the metal layer.
