Abstract:
1. A method for repairing a thin film transistor array panel comprising: a substrate comprising pixel areas; gate lines extending along a first direction; data lines extending along a second direction; thin film transistors connected to the gate lines and the data lines; pixel electrodes disposed in the pixel areas and connected to the thin film transistors; storage electrodes extending along edges of the pixel electrodes, wherein the storage electrodes comprise first storage electrodes extending along the gate lines, second storage electrodes extending from the first storage electrodes and paired along both sides of the data line, and connection parts extending across the data lines and directly connecting pairs of second storage electrodes; and connection bridges extending across the gate lines and connecting the second storage electrodes of adjacent rows, when a first one of the data lines is disconnected between the second storage electrodes that are paired at a left side and a right side of a first data line, the method comprising: disconnecting the left side second storage electrode from the connection parts; disconnecting the right side second storage electrode from a corresponding connection bridge; and using a laser to fuse overlapping portions of the connection parts and the first data line, such that a voltage of the first data line is transmitted through the right side second storage electrode, around the disconnection in the first data line.
