Patent ID: 8502950

Claim:
A mother substrate for a GIP type liquid crystal display (LCD) device, wherein the mother substrate comprises: an array of at least first and second GIP type LCD device panel regions, wherein the second GIP type LCD device panel region is adjacent to the first GIP type LCD device panel region along a data pad of the first GIP type LCD device panel region, wherein each of the first and the second GIP type LCD device panel regions includes: at least an active area having a thin film transistor array formed therein, a dummy area and a non-display area, wherein the dummy area includes a data pad, a GIP gate driver and a plurality of signal lines, wherein the data pad is orthogonally disposed to both the GIP gate driver and the plurality of signal lines; a plurality of Tape Carrier Packages (TCPs) disposed along a first non-display area of the first GIP type LCD device panel region, wherein the first non-display area is on a same side of the data pad; and a plurality of MPS wires extending from the first of the plurality of TCPs, wherein the plurality of MPS wires extend from the first of the plurality of TCPs into a second non-display area of the second GIP type LCD device panel region, wherein the second non-display area of the second GIP type LCD device panel region is directly adjacent to the first non-display area of the first GIP type LCD device panel region to enable inspection for defects of gate lines, data lines, a common line, a voltage line of the thin film transistor array and the plurality of signal lines of the first panel region.
