Abstract:
1. A method of repairing gate lines of a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate of a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), wherein the TFT array substrate comprises a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines crossing the gate lines, a plurality of pixel electrodes, and a plurality of TFTs, each TFT comprising a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode connecting to a corresponding one of the gate lines, a corresponding one of the data lines, and a corresponding one of the pixel electrodes respectively, and one of the gate lines has a defect point, the method comprising: cutting off an electrical connection between the gate electrode of one of the TFTs adjacent one side of the defect point and the corresponding data line, and cutting off an electrical connection between the gate electrode of one of the TFTs adjacent an opposite side of the defect point and the corresponding data line; electrically connecting the gate line having the defect point to each of two pixel electrodes that correspond to the two TFTs at the two opposite sides of the defect point; and electrically connecting the two pixel electrodes.
