Claim 6:
7. A zero-bezel LCD display configured to provide a flat display area with all display edges borderless such that displayed information is able to extend over all of the display edges, the LCD display comprising:
a flexible active matrix LCD display stack comprising a flexible substrate bearing active matrix circuitry comprising an array of TFTs (thin film transistors) for controlling pixels of the display, a liquid crystal layer over the substrate, and a liquid crystal cover layer, wherein the flexible substrate, the liquid crystal layer, and the liquid crystal cover layer define a liquid crystal cell, and wherein the flexible active matrix LCD display stack defines an active display area; and
a backlight behind the flexible active matrix LCD display stack to illuminate the active display area; and
wherein the flexible substrate of the flexible active matrix LCD display stack is notched at each corner of the flat display area and is folded around each of the edges of the flat display area such that the active display area extends around each of the edges of the flat display area of the zero-bezel LCD display, and
an integrated gate drive (IGD) circuitry, wherein the IGD circuitry is displaced away from the active display area, and wherein electrical connections between the IGD circuitry and the active display area comprise a stack of electrically conducting layers including at least a first, compliant layer of first metal and a second protective layer of second metal, wherein a compliance of the first metal is greater than a compliance of the second metal, and wherein an oxidation resistance of the second metal is greater than an oxidation resistance of the first metal.
