    Abstract: The present invention is intended to control the color temperature of white exhibited by a liquid crystal display device. White is produced when light waves emitted through pixels associated with three colors of red, green, and blue have maximum intensities. The amounts of light emitted through the respective pixels are controlled by differentiating the shapes of the pixel electrodes disposed at the respective pixels from one another. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. Otherwise, the shapes of interceptive films disposed at the respective pixels are differentiated from one another in order to control light waves emitted through the respective pixels. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. The interceptive film may be shaped like the pixel electrode. Otherwise, the interceptive film may be realized with an interceptive pattern other than that of the pixel electrode or one of openings bored in a black matrix.

  • Patent number: 9312281
    Abstract: A TFT array substrate includes a pixel region and a wiring region disposed outside the pixel region. The wiring region has a wiring layer including scan or data wirings. A repair wiring layer including repair wiring is disposed insulatedly below or above the wiring layer. A scan or data wiring has a first intersection and a second intersection with a repair wiring section of the repair wiring. When the scan or data wiring is broken, a repair wiring section is cut off the repair wiring by a first cut-off point and a second cut-off point, and the broken scan or data wiring is electrically connected to the repair wiring section through soldering the first intersection and the second intersection. Thus, products that would otherwise be rejected in the manufacturing process of LCD panels can be repaired, which decreases the reject ratio, increases the yield and saves the production cost.
