Patent ID: 7903187

Claim:
A static electricity preventing assembly for an electronic device, comprising: a substrate; a buffer layer on the substrate, the buffer layer including a plurality of contact holes exposing respective regions of the substrate; a first shorting bar on the buffer layer; a second shorting bar on the buffer layer, the second shorting bar being separate from the first shorting bar, the second shorting bar extending along a same plane as the first shorting bar; a first group of pad electrodes on the buffer layer; a second group of pad electrodes on the buffer layer; a first group of metal wiring lines on the buffer layer; and a second group of metal wiring lines on the buffer layer, wherein: a first portion of each of the first group of metal wiring lines is electrically connected to the substrate through respective ones of the contact holes, a second portion of each of the first group of metal wiring lines is connected to a respective one of the first group of pad electrodes, and a third portion of each of the first group of metal wiring lines is connected to the first shorting bar, the first portion of each of the first group of metal wiring lines being between the second portion and the third portion, and a first portion of each of the second group of metal wiring lines is electrically connected to the substrate through respective ones of the contact holes, a second portion of each of the second group of metal wiring lines is connected to a respective one of the second group of pad electrodes, and a third portion of each of the second group of metal wiring lines is connected to the second shorting bar, the first portion of each of the second group of metal wiring lines being between the second portion and the third portion.
