Patent ID: 8049828

Claim:
A flat-panel display device comprising: a substrate comprising a plurality of driving IC mounting areas; a plurality of parallel signal lines disposed on the substrate; a plurality of transmission lines disposed on the substrate; a plurality of shorting bars, each of the shorting bars being disposed on a corresponding driving IC mounting area of the driving IC mounting areas, the shorting bars comprising a plurality of first shorting bars and a plurality of second shorting bars; a plurality of first transistors, each of the first transistors being disposed on a corresponding driving IC mounting area of the driving IC mounting areas, the first transistor comprising: a first end coupled to a corresponding first shorting bar of the first shorting bars; a second end coupled to a corresponding transmission line of the transmission lines; and a gate coupled to a corresponding second shorting bar of the second shorting bars; and a plurality of second transistors, each of the second transistors being disposed on a corresponding driving IC mounting area of the driving IC mounting areas, the second transistor comprising: a first end coupled to a corresponding first shorting bar of the first shorting bars; a second end coupled to a corresponding signal line of the signal lines; and a gate coupled to a corresponding second shorting bar of the second shorting bars; wherein each of the shorting bars is coupled to a corresponding signal line of the signal lines and a corresponding transmission line of the transmission lines.
