Abstract
A pixel structure is provided. The pixel structure comprises a scan line, a data line, a pixel electrode and a thin film transistor. The data line branches out into a plurality of subsidiary lines in the area above the scan line. If there is a short circuit between the scan line and the data line, the short circuit can be repaired by cutting the connections to one of the branching subsidiary lines. In one embodiment of this invention, a repair line is set up on one side of the data line such that a portion of the repair line crosses over the scan line. If there is a short circuit between the scan line and the data line, a laser repair operation can be carried out through the repair line.
Claims4
A pixel structure comprising a scan line, a data line, a pixel electrode and a thin film transistor, wherein the thin film transistor comprises a gate, a channel layer and a source/drain such that the gate and the scan line are electrically connected and the source/drain, the data line and the pixel electrode are electrically connected, and one major characteristic of the pixel structure is that the data line in area above the scan line branches out into a plurality of subsidiary lines, and the width of the scan line in the area underneath the data line is smaller than the width of the scan line in other areas.
