Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates facing each other; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines formed on the first substrate such that the gate lines and the data lines intersect each other to define a plurality of pixel regions, the plurality of data lines including first, second and third data lines adjacent to one another; a plurality of thin film transistors formed at respective intersections of the gate lines and the data lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed in the plurality of pixel regions, respectively, and connected to a respective thin film transitor; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; and a plurality of repair patterns formed on the first substrate, wherein each of the plurality of the repair patterns crosses a corresponding one of the data lines, and is parallel to an extension direction of the gate lines, such that the repair pattern includes protruding ends that protrude from the corresponding data line to repair a defect on the pixel regions, wherein the repair pattern has an island shape and crossing the second data line, wherein one end of the repair pattern is located between the first and second data lines, and the other end of the repair pattern is located between the second and third data lines, wherein the one end of the repair pattern overlaps and is electrically isolated from a first one of the pixel electrodes located between the first and second data lines, and the other end of the repair pattern overlaps and is electrically isolated from a second one of the pixel electrodes located between the second and third data lines, and wherein each of the plurality of the repair patterns and the corresponding one of the data lines have a single intersection.
