  • Patent number: 8102481
    Abstract: An array substrate of a liquid crystal display, comprising a first scan line and a second scan line, a first data line and a second data line arranged crossing with the first scan line and the second scan line to define a pixel region, and a pixel electrode in the pixel region, wherein the second data line comprises at least a first branch and a second branch that are electrically connected to each other. According to the invention, it is not necessary to provide the array substrate with additional space for disposing repair lines, and the non-display region is therefore not increased, resulting in an increased yield. Only a short length of repair lines is used in repair, and thus both electrical resistance of repair line and distortion of data signals can be reduced.
