The granted patent US12044914B2 describes an electronic device featuring a unique structural configuration that includes an active region and a peripheral region. The device is built on a substrate characterized by a first edge and a second edge, where the first edge is not parallel to the second. The peripheral region is strategically positioned between the active region and the first edge. Key components of the device include a first electrode layer, two types of conductive glues (first and second), and an insulating glue that overlaps with the conductive glues. Notably, the insulating glue extends in a specific direction parallel to the first edge, with defined distances between the conductive glues and the edges of the substrate, which are critical for the device's functionality.

Additionally, the patent outlines several enhancements to the electronic device. It includes provisions for a second electrode layer positioned above the first electrode layer, and the potential for an additional substrate opposite the primary substrate, aligning the active region with this secondary substrate. The device may also incorporate a display medium layer situated on the first electrode layer, with the active region corresponding to this layer. The design emphasizes the relationship between the insulating glue and the conductive glues, specifying that the length of the insulating glue exceeds that of the first conductive glue. Furthermore, the arrangement of the first metal element is detailed, indicating its placement between the first conductive glue and the insulating glue, which is essential for the device's operational integrity.
