Abstract

A liquid crystal display, in accordance with the present invention, includes a substrate and a plurality of driving signal lines formed on the substrate. The plurality of driving signal lines includes a plurality of voltage transmission lines. Each voltage transmission line carries one of a plurality of predetermined voltages and the voltage transmission lines are arranged on the substrate according to the magnitudes of the predetermined voltages that the voltage transmission lines carry.

Claims (16)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a control voltage generating circuit generating a plurality of control voltages;

a driving voltage generating circuit generating a plurality of driving voltages; and

a liquid crystal panel comprising

a plurality of control signal transmitting lines,

a plurality of driving voltage transmitting lines,

a plurality of first pads, and a plurality of second pads, the plurality of first pads being formed at ends of the control signal transmitting lines connected to the control voltage generating circuit and transmitting the control voltages, respectively and the plurality of second pads being formed at ends of the driving voltage transmitting lines connected to the driving voltage generator and transmitting the driving voltages, respectively,

wherein some of the control signal transmitting lines and the driving voltage transmitting lines are supplied with voltages having magnitudes different from each other, and the first pads and the second pads are arranged according to the magnitudes of the voltages.

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the first pads and the second pads are sequentially arranged based on increasing magnitudes of the voltages.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the first pads and the second pads are sequentially arranged based on decreasing magnitudes of the voltages.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the driving voltages comprise at least one of a common voltage, a gate-off voltage, a gate-on voltage, a ground voltage, and a supply voltage.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 4 , wherein the second pad connected to a driving voltage transmitting line transmitting the gate-off voltage comprises a test pad.

6. The liquid crystal display of claim 5 , wherein the liquid crystal panel further comprises a plurality of gate lines, and the test pad is connected to the gate lines.

7. The liquid crystal display of claim 6 , wherein the liquid crystal panel further comprises a cutting line cutting between the test pad and the gate lines.

8. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the control voltages comprise at least one of a vertical synchronization start signal, a gate clock signal, and an output enable signal.

9. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal panel further comprises an isolated pad interposed between two adjacent pads, wherein the isolated pad is electrically connected to at least one redundant driving signal line and the at least one redundant driving signal line transmits a voltage equal to the higher one of voltages applied to the two adjacent pads.
