Abstract:
1. A system having an electrostatic discharge protection structure which is adapted to electrically connect a driver circuit with a bonding pad of a display panel, the structure comprising: a conducting layer including a first conducting portion and a second conducting portion disposed independently with the first conducting portion to form a gap therebetween wherein the first conducting portion connects to the driver circuit and the second conducting portion connects to the bonding pad; a material layer disposed on the conducting layer, the material layer including a first material portion, a second material portion and an intermediate material portion disposed between the first and second material portions, wherein the first material portion is disposed on the first conducting portion and forms a first via hole with the intermediate material portion to expose a part of the first conducting portion, the second material portion is disposed on the second conducting portion and forms a second via hole with the intermediate material portion to expose a part of the second conducting portion, and at least a part of the intermediate material portion is located within the gap; and a bridging layer disposed on the material layer with parts of the bridging layers being located within the first and second via holes to electrically connect the first conducting portion to the second conducting portion.
