Patent ID: 7098989

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) element with a defect repairing function, said LCD element comprising: a plurality of parallel scan lines; and a plurality of optical display rows disposed orthogonal to the plurality of scan lines; wherein each of the optical display rows at least includes; two data lines, orthogonal to the plurality of scan lines; and a plurality of display pixels, each display pixel corresponding to at least one of the scan lines; wherein each of the display pixels includes: at least two field effect transistors (FETs) each having a gate, a drain, and a source, each of said FETs corresponding to one of the data lines, wherein the gates of the FETs are connected to said at least one scan line and the source of each FET is connected to the corresponding data line; at least two transparent electrodes each corresponding to one of the FETs and being connected to the drain of said corresponding FET; a spare conduction port installed between said at least two transparent electrodes for selectively connecting the transparent electrodes, wherein the spare conduction port is electrically isolated from and overlaps said transparent electrodes; and more than one storage electrodes each corresponding to one of the transparent electrodes, a dielectric layer being positioned between each of said storage electrodes and the corresponding transparent electrode to define a storage capacitor; wherein the storage electrodes of different said display pixels are electrically connected by wires; and wherein adjacent said storage electrodes are electrically connected by at least two separate current paths including a connection port and a spare connection wire.
