Abstract:
1. A flat panel display device comprising: a display panel for displaying images; a driving circuit unit connected to the display panel for applying a drive signal to the display panel; a plurality of aging pads connected to the driving circuit unit for applying aging signals to the display panel through the driving circuit unit, wherein the aging pad is electrically connected with the driving circuit unit, each through an aging signal application wiring, wherein the aging pad is electrically connected with the aging signal application wiring through a plurality of contact holes; wherein each aging pad is divided by a plurality of sub-aging pads to minimize the area for forming the aging pad and reduce static electricity generation rate and wherein the sub-aging pads are repeatedly disposed at certain intervals therebetween and arranged in a matrix; and a connection pattern bridging the adjacent sub-aging pads for electrically connecting the plurality of sub-aging pads overall.
