Patent ID: 8582044

Claim:
A method for repairing a liquid crystal display including a plurality of data lines and a first pixel and a second pixel, wherein the first pixel and the second pixel respectively include a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode, a first switching element including a first drain electrode connected to the first subpixel electrode and a first source electrode opposing the first drain electrode, a second switching element including a second drain electrode connected to the second subpixel electrode and a second source electrode opposing the second drain electrode, a third switching element including a third source electrode connected to the second drain electrode and a third drain electrode opposing the third source electrode, and a voltage-changing capacitor including the third drain electrode and a common voltage line transmitting a common voltage as its two terminals, the method comprising: disconnecting the first source electrode and the second source electrode of the second pixel from any of the plurality of data lines; and shorting the two terminals of the voltage-changing capacitor to the second pixel.
