Abstract
A matrix-type display capable of being repaired by pixel unit, Two or more of signal lines such as scanning lines, image signal lines and auxiliary signal lines and a pixel electrode are overlapped via an insulating layer, so that a defect such as the disconnection of the image signal lines and scanning lines, the short of the pixel electrode and the signal line, and the loss of electrode of a switching element, and a pixel defect can be repaired. Here, the layout of the auxiliary gate line and dual gate line can be modified.
Claims8
A matrix-type display, comprising:
- a first signal line and a second signal line electrically connected to each other;
- a third signal line intersecting the first and the second signal lines and being insulated from the first and the second signal lines;
- a switching element electrically connected to one of the first and the second signal lines and connected to the third signal line;
- a first auxiliary member placed adjacent to the third signal line;
- and
- a pixel electrode located substantially between the first and the second signal lines,
- wherein at least one intersecting member intersects the third signal line at a first intersection and a second intersection and forms a first path between the first intersection and the second intersection, and the switching element is not disposed on the path, and
- wherein said at least one intersecting member comprises at least one of:
- (1) the second signal line;
- and (2) the first auxiliary member.
