Patent ID: 7113252

Claim:
A method of mending a broken line in a display device having a scanning line formed on an insulating substrate, a storage capacitance line formed in parallel to the scanning line, an image signal line being formed across the scanning line and the storage capacitance line through an insulating layer, and a pixel electrode being surrounded with the scanning line, the storage capacitance line and the image signal line, wherein the method includes steps of: forming at least one overlapped area of the image signal line and an extended area of the storage capacitance line which extends along one peripheral edge of the pixel electrode in an area other than the crossing region of storage capacitance line and the image signal line within one pixel area; connecting an extended part of the storage capacitance line with the image signal line in the at least one overlapped area of the extended part of the storage capacitance line and the image signal line; and separating the extended part of the storage capacitor line from the storage capacitor line at a region of the extended part of the storage capacitor line that is closest to the storage capacitor line, wherein the step of separating further includes separating the pixel electrode in a portion closest to the storage capacitance line and in parallel to the storage capacitance line.
