Abstract
A thin film transistor array panel comprises a repair line disposed in a peripheral area of a display area and being configured to repair when at least one of a gate line and a data line are disconnected, and a detour line disposed in the peripheral area and comprising at least one resistor having higher resistance than a remaining portion of the detour line, wherein both ends of the detour line are connected to the repair line to protect the array panel.
