Cutting area pathway for display module

A display module comprising:

• a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate comprising a glass substrate, a TFT layer provided on the glass substrate, and a plurality of TFT electrodes provided on the TFT layer;
• and
• a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) electrically connected to the plurality of TFT electrodes,
• wherein the TFT layer comprises a plurality of sacrificial switching elements connected to the plurality of LEDs in parallel,
• wherein a sacrificial switching element of the plurality of sacrificial switching elements comprises a first wiring electrically connected to an anode of a corresponding pixel circuit, and a second wiring electrically connected to a cathode of the corresponding pixel circuit, the first wiring and the second wiring being positioned in a cutting area,
• wherein the cutting area comprises a pathway extending from a rear surface of the TFT substrate to the first wiring and the second wiring,
• wherein the cutting area has a transparency such that a laser beam passes through the cutting area,
• wherein the TFT layer further comprises a first metal layer extending over both the first wiring and the second wiring, and
• wherein a distance between the sacrificial switching element and a TFT electrode of the plurality of TFT electrodes corresponding to the sacrificial switching element is shorter than a distance between the corresponding pixel circuit and a TFT electrode of the plurality of TFT electrodes which controls an LED of the plurality of LEDs corresponding to the sacrificial switching element.
