Abstract

A master having a substrate including displaying units and an ESD protection structure including an adjacent first region and a second region is provided. The displaying units have a predetermined-cutting region therebetween. Each displaying unit includes a peripheral circuit region and a display region having pixels. The ESD protection structure disposed on the predetermined-cutting region, located in the peripheral circuit region, and connecting the display region includes a first patterned conductive layer disposed on the first region and having an end away from the predetermined-cutting region, a first patterned dielectric layer disposed on the first patterned conductive layer and the substrate and having a first opening exposing a portion of the first patterned conductive layer, a patterned transparent conductive layer disposed corresponding to the predetermined-cutting region and connecting the first patterned conductive layer, and a second patterned dielectric layer covering the patterned transparent conductive layer and the substrate.
