    Abstract: A liquid crystal display is disclosed. The liquid crystal display includes: a glass substrate; a protrusive three-dimensional pattern layer is arranged on the glass substrate, and the three-dimensional pattern layer and the glass substrate form an acute angle; and a gate, a source, or a drain line arranged along an outer surface of the three-dimensional pattern layer. In addition, a manufacturing method of the liquid crystal display is also disclosed. The gate, the source, or the drain line is arranged in the three-dimensional form. In this way, the line width of the three-dimensional pattern layer is larger than that of the planar layer. At the same time, the blocked area of the three-dimensional pattern layer is only its projection on the glass substrate. Therefore, the line width is increased and the blocked area is not greatly increased.

  • Patent number: 8724038
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a combined sensor device. In some implementations, a combined sensor device includes a wrap-around configuration wherein an upper flexible substrate has patterned conductive material on an extended portion to allow routing of signal lines, electrical ground, and power. One or more integrated circuits or passive components, which may include connecting sockets, may be mounted onto the flexible layer to reduce cost and complexity. Such implementations may eliminate a flex cable and may allow a bezel-less configuration.
