Abstract:
A method to repair a data line in a thin film transistor array panel includes, if the data line is disconnected at a disconnection portion, irradiating a laser on at least one side of the disconnected portion of the data line to short the data line and a storage electrode, and irradiating the laser to separate a portion shorted to the data line among the storage electrode to be disconnected. The storage electrode includes a first portion overlapping the data line between two adjacent gate lines and a second portion connected to the first portion and enclosing an edge of a pixel area except for a region where the first portion is formed. Two adjacent pixel areas are defined by the two adjacent gate lines and two adjacent data lines, and the storage electrode is branched between pixel electrodes.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thin film transistor array panel, a liquid crystal display, and a method capable of reducing an effect on neighboring pixels in a process of repairing a pixel defect. The thin film transistor array panel may include: a thin film transistor connected to a gate line and a data line to define a pixel area; a pixel electrode formed in the pixel area and connected to the thin film transistor; and a storage electrode including a first portion overlapping the data line between two adjacent gate lines. The storage electrode may also include a second portion connected to the first portion and enclosing an edge of the pixel area except for a region where the first portion is formed. The storage electrode may be branched between pixel electrodes respectively formed in two adjacent pixel areas.
Abstract:
A mother substrate for a display device includes a display cell, a test pad, an electrostatic preventing pattern and a connecting line. The display cell includes a pad and a signal line. The signal line is extended from the pad and is electrically connected to a pixel. The test pad is disposed out of the display cell and is electrically connected to the signal line of the display cell and receives a test signal. The electrostatic preventing pattern electrically connected to the test pad is disposed adjacent to the test pad and includes a plurality of edges. The electrostatic preventing pattern is formed from a metal pattern. The connecting line is extended from the electrostatic preventing pattern and is electrically connected to the pad of the display cell.
