Abstract

On a flat panel display, a substrate has a first pixel region and a second pixel region defined by a first data line and a second data line extended vertically, and a first gate line and a second gate line extended horizontally. A first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode are formed in the first pixel region and the second region respectively. The first data line has an opening, and a first broken point and a second broken point are formed between the opening in the second pixel region. A method of repairing the first data line comprises steps of: electrically connecting the first data line and the first pixel electrode within the first pixel region; electrically connecting the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode; and electrically connecting the second pixel electrode and the second broken point of the first data line within the second pixel region.

Dependent claims

A method of repairing a flat panel display, comprising steps of:

(a) providing a substrate having a first vertically-extended data line, a second vertically-extended data line, a first horizontally-extended gate line, and a second horizontally-extended gate line for defining a first pixel region and a second pixel region thereby, a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode positioned in the first pixel region and a second region respectively, the first data line having an opening, and a first broken point and a second broken point of the first data line being formed between the opening in the second pixel region;
(b) electrically connecting the first data line and the first pixel electrode within the first pixel region;
(c) electrically connecting the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode;
and
(d) electrically connecting the second pixel electrode and the second broken point of the first data line within the second pixel region.
