  • Patent number: 6628368
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display capable of being repaired for defects in data lines and method for repairing the same. The liquid crystal display includes multiple scan lines, multiple data lines, multiple transparent pixel electrodes, multiple switching devices, multiple first storage capacitors, multiple second storage capacitors, multiple first ring-type conductors, and multiple second ring-type conductors. Each of the first ring-type conductors and an associated one of the second ring-type conductors correspond to two adjacent scan lines and one of the data lines, wherein the first and second ring-type conductors are electrically connected. Through the connections of the first and second ring-type conductors and the storage capacitors, the pixels and the data lines can be repaired so that the problems due to malfunctioned storage capacitors and disconnection of the data lines can be resolved.
