Abstract: A display apparatus includes a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line and a pixel area. A common electrode and a pixel electrode are overlapped with each other and formed in the pixel area. The common electrode and the pixel electrode receive different voltages. The data line includes a first data line through which a voltage is applied to the common electrode and a second data line through which a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode. The first data line crosses the pixel area to minimize an area where the first data line is formed, thereby improving an aperture ratio of the display apparatus.

Abstract: A TFT array panel and a manufacturing method thereof. The TFT array panel includes an insulation substrate, a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of first dummy wiring lines, a gate insulating layer, and a plurality of data lines. The insulation substrate has a display area for displaying an image and a peripheral area outside the display area. The plurality of gate lines are formed in the display area and in a portion of the peripheral area. The plurality of first dummy wiring lines are insulated from the gate lines and formed in the peripheral area. The gate insulating later is formed on the gate lines and the first dummy wiring lines, and has at least one contact hole exposing at least lateral end portions of the first dummy wiring lines.

Abstract: A display device includes a display panel having a display region and a peripheral region. Signal lines disposed in the peripheral region provide an image display signal to the display region. A test pad portion is disposed in the peripheral region and connected to at least some of the signal lines. The test pad portion includes a test pad, an extension line extending from the test pad, and a bridge wire connecting the extension line to an associated signal line. The bridge wire is formed of a corrosion resistant material. The signal line is protected from corrosion by connecting the signal line to the test pad portion via the bridge wire, which prevents corrosion of the test pad from spreading to the signal line. The bridge wire can be protected from corrosion by disposing it under a sealing member of the panel.

Abstract: An exposure mask suitable for forming a color filter for compensating for a difference in color reproduction between a reflective area and a transmissive area including first areas causing a part of a thin film to remain as a thin film pattern by controlling an incident light, second areas removing the other part of the thin film by controlling the incident light contrary to the first areas and dummy areas extended from edges of the first areas and formed such that the thin film pattern substantially corresponds to the first areas.

Abstract: A TFT array panel for a display has a gate insulating layer with substantially the same dielectric constant as the passivation layer and may be thicker than the passivation layer, while the storage capacitor includes a pixel electrode and a storage electrode overlapping each other along with the passivation layer sandwiched therebetween such that the storage capacitor has a higher capacitance than known storage capacitors even though the storage conductors have the same area as before.
