Abstract
A display device displays images with a plurality of signal lines and includes spare lines, each being arranged to be connectable to the signal lines so as to be used for recovery of the signal lines from disconnection. Each of the spare lines has constricted sections for cutting. With this arrangement, it is possible to easily and properly recover the signal lines from disconnection.

A display device which displays images with a plurality of signal lines, comprising:
- spare lines each being arranged to be connectable to the signal lines so as to be used for recovery of the signal lines from disconnection;
- wherein
- each of the spare lines has constricted sections for cutting.
A display device which displays images with a plurality of signal lines, comprising:
- a common line to which an excess current flowing in the signal lines is let out, the common line having constricted sections for cutting.
A display device having a display section in which a plurality of data signal lines is provided, comprising:
- a plurality of spare lines arranged around the display section, being used for recovery of the data signal lines from disconnection;
- wherein
- a plurality of constricted sections is located at an interval on each of the spare lines along an edge opposite to a data input side edge of the display section.
A method for manufacturing a display device which display images with a plurality of signal lines provided in a display area, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a spare line that is arranged to be connectable to the signal line directly or via a relay line so as to be used for recovery of the signal line from disconnection;
- and
- forming a constricted section on the spare line at a position behind a connectable point with the signal line or the relay line;
- checking whether there is a broken signal line or not;
- and
- in a case where there is a broken signal line, connecting the broken signal line to the spare line, and cutting the spare line at the constricted section.
