Display Cladding Pattern Prevents Metal Wiring Visibility

A cladding pattern is introduced as an intermediary structure between the conductive pattern and the external environment. This cladding pattern covers the side surfaces of the conductive pattern, preventing direct exposure to light while maintaining the electrical functionality. The cladding acts as a mediator that blocks the harmful light reflection path without interfering with the conductive pattern's input sensing capability.

The solution transitions from a two-dimensional planar conductive pattern to a three-dimensional structure by adding vertical cladding layers. The cladding pattern extends in the thickness direction (z-axis) to cover the side surfaces, creating a multi-layered structure that addresses the visibility issue in the vertical dimension while preserving the horizontal electrical connectivity.

The cladding pattern is segmented into multiple distinct layers: a first cladding layer in direct contact with the conductive pattern and a second cladding layer on top of the first. This segmentation allows each layer to serve specific functions - the first layer provides immediate coverage of side surfaces while the second layer enhances the blocking effect. The segmented structure achieves better visibility prevention with controlled complexity through functional differentiation.

The cladding pattern employs composite material structure with different materials for different layers. The first cladding layer uses a material with appropriate adhesion to the conductive pattern, while the second cladding layer uses a different material optimized for light blocking. This composite approach allows optimization of each layer's properties for its specific function, achieving effective visibility prevention while managing overall device complexity.
