Abstract
A flexible active matrix array is provided, made with a flexible substrate and an array of pixels overlying the substrate, where each pixel includes an active device and a light controlling device. The array also includes a plurality of parallel row lines overlying the substrate, with each row line formed in serpentine pattern with a plurality of partial-loops, to supply a first signal to a corresponding plurality of pixels. A plurality of parallel column lines overlies the substrate, orthogonal to the row lines. Each column line is formed in a serpentine pattern with a plurality of partial-loops, to supply a second signal to a corresponding plurality of pixels. Each pixel has a border, with each row line partial-loop formed along about 75% of a pixel border, and each column line partial-loop formed along about 75% of a pixel border. Also provided is a printed circuit board with serpentine traces.
