    Abstract: A pixel-based display device, such as an electrowetting display, includes an array of routing dummy pixels that are electrically interconnected in series, forming a conductive routing trace through the pixel area. Within the routing dummy pixel substrate, a source-drain metal layer is electrically isolated from a gate metal layer. A source metal interconnect between the source-drain metal layers of vertically adjacent routing dummy pixels electrically connects the vertically adjacent routing dummy pixels in series. The routing trace conducts a common voltage from a power supply to a common connector pad, facilitating relocation of the pad from the bottom to the top of the display. The pad and the source-drain and reflector metal layers of the routing dummy pixels have the same electric potential, ensuring that the routing dummy pixels remain in an “off” state and appear black throughout operation of the display device.

  • Patent number: 9959820
    Abstract: An array substrate, display device and image display method. In this array substrate, among the sub-pixels two adjacent columns of sub-pixels are grouped together, and sub-pixels in different groups do not overlap each other; in each group, all of the sub-pixels are electrically connected with a same data line; each row of the sub-pixels corresponds to two gate lines, and in each row of the sub-pixels, two sub-pixels belonging to the same group are electrically connected with one of the two gate lines corresponding to this row of the sub-pixels respectively; thus, in the process of sequentially loading a gate scanning signal to each grid line within the display time of one frame, charging difference between rows of sub-pixels caused by the jump of voltage loaded on the data line may be reduced, whereby poor stripes present when a flat panel display is displaying a screen may be improved.
