Flat display panel having narrow bezel

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to reducing bezel area of a flat display panel comprising a substrate with a non-display area surrounding a display area, the display area comprising common lines coupled to corresponding rows of pixels; and a gate driver formed in the non-display area. The display may further include a conductive sealing region formed in the non-display area and configured to supply a common line voltage; and a plurality of common pads formed within the conductive sealing region and each coupled to a corresponding one of the common lines to apply a common line voltage to the rows of pixels. Alternatively, the display may further include a vertical common line formed in the non-display area between the gate driver and the display area, the vertical common line extending from top to bottom of the non-display area and coupled to said common lines to apply a common voltage.
