## Abstract

A thin film transistor array panel comprising: an insulating substrate; gate lines formed on the insulating substrate; data lines defining a display region by intersecting the gate lines while being insulated; an electrostatic dispersion line intersecting the gate lines; diodes adhered to the gate lines and to the electrostatic dispersion line; and a repair line for repairing the data lines formed on the insulating substrate outside the display region and intersecting the electrostatic dispersion line while being insulated. According to the present invention, since static electricity flowing along the repair line is not transferred to the data lines, defects of a thin film transistor of the display region may be prevented.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display panel comprising:
an insulating substrate;
a display region on the insulating substrate;
an electrostatic dispersion line near the display region;
a diode connected to a gate line and the electrostatic dispersion line; and
a repair line for repairing a defect in the display region formed on the insulating substrate outside the display region and insulatedly intersecting the electrostatic dispersion line outside the display region.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display panel of claim 1, further comprising an insulating layer interposed between the repair line and the electrostatic dispersion line.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The display panel of claim 1,
wherein the diode is disposed on the insulating substrate outside the display region.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display panel of claim 3, further comprising;
a repair line connection bar intersecting both of the first repair line and the second repair line.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The display panel of claim 3, further comprising an insulating layer interposed between the repair lines and the electrostatic dispersion line.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The display panel of claim 3, further comprising:
a diode connected to the electrostatic dispersion line, wherein the diode are disposed on the insulating substrate outside the display region.

### Claim 7

A display panel comprising:
an insulating substrate;
a display region on the insulating substrate;
an electrostatic dispersion line near the display region;
a first repair line intersecting a data line extended from the display region formed on the insulating substrate outside the display region; and
a second repair line not intersecting the data line and insulatedly intersecting the electrostatic dispersion line outside the display region.
