Patent number: 9678588Abstract: An LCD module may include a color filter (CF) layer with pixels for modifying light energy to form a display image. A transistor layer below the CF layer may include a glass panel, conductive pathways, and transistors coupled to the conductive pathways and for controlling the pixels. A control layer is located below the transistor layer and may include a display controller for generating signals to control the transistor. First wire bondings carry the signals between the display controller and the conductive pathways included in the transistor layer.
