Claim:
1. A display, comprising: a substrate; an array of pixels on the substrate, wherein the array has first and second opposing edges and has third and fourth opposing edges; and display driver circuitry that provides data signals to the pixels over data lines and that provides gate lines signals to the array of pixels over gate lines, wherein the display driver circuitry includes gate driver circuitry that runs along at least the third edge and includes at least one display driver integrated circuit along the first edge, wherein the gate driver circuitry includes a series of gate driver integrated circuits that extend along the third edge and that are coupled together in series to form shift register circuitry, and wherein each of the gate driver integrated circuits has opposing first and second pads and an internal line segment coupled between the first and second pads; and a plurality of conductive trace segments on the substrate each of which is coupled between the first pad of one of the gate driver integrated circuits and the second pad of another of the gate driver integrated circuits; at least one supplemental conductive trace segment that runs parallel to the plurality of gate driver integrated circuits and that is coupled between one of the first pads and one of the second pads, wherein the display driver integrated circuit provides a gate high voltage to the gate driver circuitry using the plurality of conductive trace segments, the internal line segments, and the supplemental conductive trace segment.
