Devices and methods for reducing the size of display panel routings

摘要

Disclosed embodiments relate to signal routings for use in a display device. The display device may include a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel having multiple pixels arranged in rows and columns. Each of the pixels includes a pixel electrode and a thin-film transistor (TFT). The LCD may include a conductive signal routing portion having a first metallic layer, a second metallic layer formed directly on the first metallic layer, and a third metallic layer formed directly on the second metallic layer. The first metallic layer may include a contact terminal. The second metallic layer when combined with the third metallic layers may decrease the resistance of the third metallic layer.
