Array Substrate Layout to Prevent Mini-LED Layer Short Circuits

The conductive layers are segmented into multiple conductive portions within each conductive layer, and the projections of these portions are designed to avoid overlapping with projections of conductive portions in other layers. This segmentation allows the conductive paths to be distributed without creating overlapping regions that could lead to short circuits, thus maintaining area utilization while improving reliability.

The design extracts the potential short circuit paths by ensuring that conductive portions in different layers do not have overlapping projections. This eliminates the need for thick insulating layers solely for isolation purposes, allowing the substrate thickness to be reduced while maintaining electrical isolation through the non-overlapping conductive geometry.

Instead of adding opening areas to existing conductive portions to prevent short circuits, the invention inverts the approach by designing the conductive portions themselves to have non-overlapping projections from the outset. This eliminates the need for additional opening areas and associated patterning steps, maintaining reliability while simplifying manufacturing.
