Abstract

A liquid-crystal display device of OCB mode, comprising: signal and scanning lines arranged on an insulator substrate as the signal lines are intersected by the scanning lines to form intersections; pixel-dot TFTs arranged respectively in vicinity of the intersections and connected respectively with pixel electrodes, with the signal lines and with the scanning lines; and a repair-use construction for each pixel dot, which is convertible to a diode electrically connecting one of the pixel electrodes on the each pixel dot, to one of the signal lines.

Claims (11)

1. A liquid-crystal display device of OCB mode, comprising:

signal and scanning lines arranged on an insulator substrate as the signal lines are intersected by the scanning lines to form intersections;

pixel-dot TFTs arranged respectively in vicinity of the intersections and connected respectively with pixel electrodes, with the signal lines and with the scanning lines; and

a repair-use construction for each pixel dot, which is convertible to a diode electrically connecting one of the pixel electrodes on the each pixel dot, to one of the signal lines,

wherein the repair-use construction is arranged between said one of the pixel electrodes and said one of the signal lines, and is constructed as a TFT construction; and gate and source electrodes of the TFT construction are disconnected with each other and connectable as to form the diode.

2. A liquid-crystal display device of OCB mode, comprising:

signal and scanning lines arranged on an insulator substrate as the signal lines are intersected by the scanning lines to form intersections;

pixel-dot TFTs arranged respectively in vicinity of the intersections and connected respectively with pixel electrodes, with the signal lines and with the scanning lines;

a diode electrically connecting one of the pixel electrodes to one of the signal lines; and

a cut portion disconnecting said one of the pixel electrodes from associated one of the pixel-dot TFTs,

wherein the diode is arranged between said one of the pixel electrodes and said one of the signal lines, and is constructed as a TFT construction, gate and source electrodes of which are connected as short-circuited with each other.
