Abstract

A display device includes a substrate, a first wiring disposed on the substrate and extending in a first direction, an inter-insulating layer disposed on the first wiring, a 2-1 st wiring disposed on the inter-insulating layer and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, a 2-2 nd wiring disposed on the inter-insulating layer, disconnected from the 2-1 st wiring, and crossing the first wiring, a 2-3 rd wiring disposed on the inter-insulating layer, and disconnected from the 2-2 nd wiring, a first insulating layer which is disposed on the 2-1 st to the 2-3 rd wirings and in which a first through-hole and a second through-hole are defined, the first through-hole exposing a portion of the 2-1 st wiring, and the second through-hole exposing a portion of the 2-3 rd wiring, and a first pixel electrode connected to the 2-1 st wiring through the first through-hole, and connected to the 2-3 rd wiring through the second through-hole.

Claims (28)

1 . A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a first wiring disposed on the substrate and extending in a first direction;

an inter-insulating layer disposed on the first wiring;

a 2-1 st wiring disposed on the inter-insulating layer and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a 2-2 nd wiring disposed on the inter-insulating layer, adjacent to the 2-1 st wiring in the second direction, disconnected from the 2-1 st wiring, and crossing the first wiring in a plan view;

a 2-3 rd wiring disposed on the inter-insulating layer, adjacent to the 2-2 nd wiring in the second direction, and disconnected from the 2-2 nd wiring;

a first insulating layer which is disposed on the 2-1 st to 2-3 rd wirings and in which a first through-hole and a second through-hole are defined, the first through-hole exposing a portion of the 2-1 st wiring, and the second through-hole exposing a portion of the 2-3 rd wiring; and

a first pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer, connected to the 2-1 st wiring through the first through-hole, and connected to the 2-3 rd wiring through the second through-hole.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the 2-2 nd wiring includes a same material as a material of the 2-1 st wiring, and has a same layer structure as a layer structure of the 2-1 st wiring.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the 2-3 rd wiring includes a same material as a material of the 2-1 st wiring, and has a same layer structure as a layer structure of the 2-1 st wiring.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein, in the plan view, the 2-2 nd wiring is disposed between the first through-hole and the second through-hole.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel electrode has a shape corresponding to a shape of the 2-2 nd wiring.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first pixel electrode is disposed along the 2-2 nd wiring.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein, in the plan view, a length of the first pixel electrode in the second direction is greater than a length of the 2-2 nd wiring in the second direction.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein, in the plan view, an opening extending in the first direction, exposing the first insulating layer, and crossing the 2-2 nd wiring is defined in the first wiring.

9 . A method of repairing a display device, the method comprising:

forming a first wiring on a substrate, an inter-insulating layer on the first wiring, and a second wiring on the inter-insulating layer, the first wiring extending in a first direction, and the second wiring extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;

forming a 2-1 st wiring, a 2-2 nd wiring, and a 2-3 rd wiring on the inter-insulating layer by disconnecting the second wiring, the 2-1 st wiring extending in the second direction crossing the first direction, the 2-2 nd wiring extending from the 2-1 st wiring in the second direction, being disconnected from the 2-1 st wiring, and crossing the first wiring in a plan view, and the 2-3 rd wiring extending from the 2-2 nd wiring in the second direction and being disconnected from the 2-2 nd wiring;

forming a first insulating layer on the 2-1 st to 2-3 rd wirings;

defining a first through-hole and a second through-hole in the first insulating layer, the first through-hole exposing a portion of the 2-1 st wiring, and the second through-hole exposing a portion of the 2-3 rd wiring; and

forming a first pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer, connected to the 2-1 st wiring through the first through-hole, and connected to the 2-3 rd wiring through the second through-hole.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising, after the forming the first pixel electrode, changing a shape of the first pixel electrode to a shape corresponding to the 2-2 nd wiring.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein, in the plan view, the 2-2 nd wiring is disposed between the first through-hole and the second through-hole.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein, in the plan view, the first pixel electrode is disposed along the 2-2 nd wiring.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein, in the plan view, a length of the first pixel electrode in the second direction is greater than a length of the 2-2 nd wiring in the second direction.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the forming the second wiring includes, after forming the first wiring, defining an opening extending in the first direction and exposing the inter-insulating layer in the first wiring.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein, in the plan view, the 2-2 nd wiring crosses the opening.
