Abstract

The present invention provides a routing structure and display panel. The routing structure includes a plurality of routing, disposed separately. Each routing corresponds to a symbol, and the symbol is disposed on the routing to act as a part of the routing to conduct electricity. In this manner, the routing structure and display panel of the present invention allow expansion of routing width, effectively reduce RC constant and energy-consumption, and improve yield rate.

Claims

1. A routing structure, which comprises:

a plurality of routings, disposed separately, wherein each routing corresponds to a respective routing code, the routing code comprising a plurality of characters, each character being a digit or a letter, wherein the routing code is disposed in a groove of the corresponding routing and connected to the corresponding routing, wherein the routing code and the corresponding routing are made of the same metal and the routing code is made conductive in an extension direction of the routing to serve as a part of the routing to conduct electricity.

2. A routing structure, which comprises:

a plurality of routings, disposed separately, wherein each routing corresponds to a respective routing code, the routing code being disposed in a groove of the corresponding routing and connected to the corresponding routing, the routing code and the corresponding routing being made of the same metal and the routing code being conductive in an extension direction of the routing to serve as a part of the routing to conduct electricity.

3. The routing structure as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the routing code comprises a plurality of characters, and each character is a digit or a letter.

4. The routing structure as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that a direction of the characters is parallel to the extension direction of the routing.

5. The routing structure as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that a direction of the characters is perpendicular to the extension direction of the routing.

6. The routing structure as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that a width of each character is greater than a width of the routing.

7. The routing structure as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that a width of each character is smaller than a width of the routing.

8. The routing structure as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the characters are continuously disposed on the routing.

9. The routing structure as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the characters are separately disposed on the routing.

10. A display panel, which comprises:

a plurality of routings, disposed separately, wherein each routing corresponds to a respective routing code, the routing code being disposed in a groove of the corresponding routing and connected to the corresponding routing, the routing code and the corresponding routing being made of the same metal and the routing code being conductive in an extension direction of the routing to serve as a part of the routing to conduct electricity.

11. The display panel as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that the routing code comprises a plurality of characters, and each character is a digit or a letter.

12. The display panel as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that a direction of the characters is parallel to the extension direction of the routing.

13. The display panel as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that a direction of the characters is perpendicular to the extension direction of the routing.

14. The display panel as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that a width of each character is greater than a width of the routing.

15. The display panel as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that a width of each character is smaller than a width of the routing.

16. The display panel as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that the characters are continuously disposed on the routing.

17. The display panel as claimed in claim 11, characterized in that the characters are separately disposed on the routing.

18. The display panel as claimed in claim 10, characterized in that each of the routings is a data line or a scan line.
