Liquid crystal display device and method of repairing bad pixels therein

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to an image display device and, more particularly, to a liquid crystal display device and a method of repairing bad pixels therein.

#2. Description of the Prior Art

#The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

#FIG. 1 is a layout view of a TFT substrate included in an LCD device in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention;

#FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line A-A′ of FIG. 1;

#It should be noted that the term “on”, as mentioned herein, is used not only in the case where elements or layers are directly on other elements or layers, but also in the case where other intermediate elements or layers intervene therebetween. In contrast, the term “directly on”, as mentioned herein, means that elements or layers are on other elements or layers without any other intermediate elements or layers intervening therebetween. Like numbers designate like elements throughout the specification and drawings.

#Spatially relative terms such as “below”, “beneath”, “lower”, “above” and “upper” may be used herein for easily describing correlations between one element or constituents and other elements or constituents, as illustrated in the figures. It should be appreciated that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the element in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. Like numbers designate like elements throughout the specification and drawings.

#Reference will now be made to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 illustrates the layout of a TFT substrate included in an LCD device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates a section taken along line A-A′ of FIG. 1. FIG. 2 illustrates the layout of a color filter substrate included in the LCD device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Finally, FIG. 5 illustrates a section taken along line B-B′ of FIG. 4.
