The granted patent (Publication Number: US11963300B2) discloses a panel device comprising a substrate with two surfaces, a conductor pad on the first surface, and a turning wire extending from the first surface to the second surface. The turning wire includes a wiring layer in contact with the conductor pad and a wire covering layer. A circuit board is bonded to the wire covering layer, with the wire covering layer projecting more on the first surface than the wiring layer.

Additionally, the panel device includes features such as the outline of the wiring layer being recessed relative to the wire covering layer, different conductivities for the wiring layer and wire covering layer, and various options for the wire covering layer material. The device may also have a conductive bonding layer for bonding the circuit board to the wire covering layer and a heterogeneous contact interface between the conductive pad and the wiring layer. Furthermore, the substrate may have a third surface connected to the second surface, with the turning wire extending to the third surface, providing a comprehensive and innovative solution for panel devices in various applications.
