Display device

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a plurality of gate lines disposed on the first substrate and extending in a first direction;
• a plurality of data lines disposed on the first substrate and extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction, the plurality of data lines including a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion each having a larger width in the first direction than other portions of the plurality of data lines;
• an insulation layer disposed on the plurality of data lines, the insulation layer including a first opening overlapping the first protruding portion and a second opening overlapping the second protruding portion;
• a first electrode disposed on the insulation layer;
• and
• a repair wire disposed on the insulation layer and overlapping a portion of a first data line of the plurality of data lines,
• wherein the repair wire is configured to contact the first data line in the first opening overlapping the first protruding portion, and contact the first data line in the second opening overlapping the second protruding portion,
• wherein the first electrode comprises a first stem portion that is parallel with the first direction and a second stem portion that crosses the first stem portion and extends on both sides of the first stem portion in the second direction,
• wherein the plurality of gate electrodes includes a first gate line and a second gate line that each extend in the first direction and are spaced apart from each other in the second direction, the first and second gate lines are both disposed below the second stem portion in the second direction,
• wherein the first protruding portion overlaps the first stem portion of the first electrode in a third direction that is perpendicular to an upper surface of the first substrate, and
• wherein the second protruding portion is disposed between the first gate line and the second gate line.

A display device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a gate line disposed on the first substrate and extending in a first direction;
• a data line disposed on the first substrate and extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction, the data line including a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion that are spaced apart from each other and each have a larger width than other portions of the data line;
• a drain electrode disposed on the first substrate;
• and
• a first electrode that is configured to connect with the drain electrode,
• wherein the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion form a connection shape therebetween, the connection shape is configured for receiving a repair wire that directly contacts the first and second protruding portions;
• wherein the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion have an increased contact area for directly contacting the repair wire,
• wherein the repair wire is a separate wire that is solely electrically connected to the first protruding portion and the second protruding portion of the display device.
