Summarizing D1 specifications.

D1 is a Texas Instruments TPD4E05U06DQAR, a 4‑channel, ultra‑low‑capacitance TVS/ESD protection diode array for high‑speed signal lines. According to the datasheet, it is a “unidirectional… ESD protection diode” intended to protect interfaces like USB by shunting ESD surges to ground (recommended placement: “as close to the connector as possible”). Its reverse standoff voltage is 5.5 V.
In your schematic, D1 is specifically protecting the USB D+ signal:
  • Pin D1+ → net USB_DP
  • Pin GND_1 → GND
So, D1’s role is to clamp ESD events on the USB D+ line to ground, preventing those transients from reaching the MCU/display driver.
Ask about D- protection
Check placement guidance
Confirm suitability for USB
