Multi-panel display device

A display device, comprising:

• a first display panel including a first set of input/output (I/O) pads at a first side of the display device, the first set of I/O pads including a first subset of palindromic I/O pads;
• a first display driver operatively connected to the first set of I/O pads at the first side of the display device;
• a second display panel including a second set of I/O pads at the first side of the display device, the second set of I/O pads including a second subset of palindromic I/O pads matching the first subset of palindromic I/O pads;
• a second display driver operatively connected to the second set of I/O pads at the first side of the display device;
• and
• a hinge pivotably connecting the first display panel to the second display panel.

A method of fabricating display panels, comprising:

• computer designing, with a layout design tool, a first display panel layout including a first set of I/O pads including a first subset of palindromic I/O pads;
• creating a second display panel layout that is a mirror image of the first display panel layout by flipping the first display panel layout, the second display panel layout including a second set of I/O pads including a second subset of palindromic I/O pads matching the first subset of palindromic I/O pads;
• positioning the first display panel layout and the second display panel layout on a same fabrication substrate;
• performing a photolithography process of the first display panel layout and the second display panel layout on the fabrication substrate;
• and
• fabricating the first display panel and the second display panel from the fabrication substrate after conclusion of the photolithography process.
