Display panel including static electricity dissipation mechanisms

An array substrate comprising:

• a base substrate comprising a display area which includes a pixel and a peripheral area surrounding the display area;
• a signal line electrically connected to the pixel and separated from gate and data lines
• an electrostatic control pattern disposed in the peripheral area and which provides an electrostatic dissipation path, the electrostatic control pattern being vertically aligned with the signal line;
• a repair line disposed between the display area and the electrostatic control pattern and vertically aligned with the signal line;
• an insulation layer disposed between the signal line and the electrostatic control pattern the insulation layer having at least one contact hole which exposes a portion of the electrostatic control pattern therethrough;
• and
• a conductive substance which electrically connects the electrostatic control pattern and the signal line through the at least one contact hole.

A liquid crystal display panel comprising:

• a lower substrate which includes a display area which includes a pixel, a peripheral area surrounding the display area, the peripheral area including a first peripheral area, a second peripheral area, a third peripheral area and a fourth peripheral area, the lower substrate comprising:
• a signal line electrically connected to the pixel;
• an electrostatic control pattern disposed in the first peripheral area and which provides an electrostatic dissipation path;
• a repair line disposed between the display area and the electrostatic control pattern and substantially vertically aligned with the signal line;
• and
• an electrostatic prevention line surrounding the first peripheral area;
• an upper substrate facing the lower substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate.
