Reducing border width around a hole in display active area

A display, comprising:

• display pixels formed in an active area;
• an inactive region at least partially surrounded by the active area;
• an additional inactive region separate from the inactive region and at least partially surrounded by the active area;
• a first routing segment coupled to a first group of the display pixels formed in a first portion of the active area on a first side of the inactive region;
• a second routing segment coupled to a second group of the display pixels formed in the first portion of the active area on the first side of the inactive region, wherein the first and second routing segments are connected at a node via a shorting segment;
• a merged segment that is connected to the node and that is routed by the inactive region and the additional inactive region, wherein the merged segment is configured to carry a first control signal for the first and second groups of the display pixels;
• an additional merged segment coupled to multiple routing segments for the first and second groups of the display pixels and configured to carry a second control signal for the first and second groups of the display pixels;
• and
• dummy loading circuitry coupled to the merged segment, wherein the additional inactive region has first and second opposing sides separated from each other by a dimension of the additional inactive region that is smaller than a corresponding dimension of the inactive region, wherein the dummy loading circuitry is disposed along the first side of the additional inactive region, and wherein the additional merged segment runs along the second side of the additional inactive region.

A display, comprising:

• an array of pixels formed within an active area;
• an inactive region at least partially surrounded by the active area, wherein the inactive region has a border region and wherein the border region is non-overlapping with the active area;
• first routing lines that extend in a first direction across the display, wherein at least some of the first routing lines are merged to form one or more merged segments that extend into the border region of the inactive region;
• and
• second routing lines that extend in a second direction across the display and that have portions that are routed by the border region of the inactive region, wherein the portions of the second routing lines overlap pixel transistors of one or more pixels in the array of pixels within the active area and wherein each routing line in the second routing lines is coupled to pixels in the array of pixels on opposing sides of the inactive region.
