An object of the present invention is to provide a method for repairing a display device according to which a wide variety of regions can be repaired in various ways using various materials, as well as an apparatus for the same. The present invention provides a repairing apparatus for repairing a pattern defect on a surface of a substrate in a display device where an electronic circuit pattern having the above described pattern defect is formed, characterized by having a plasma irradiation means for repairing the above described pattern defect through local irradiation of a region including the above described pattern defect with plasma.

Method for repairing display device and apparatus for same

The pattern defect repairing apparatus comprises an application head, a waste ejection board, a waste ejection vessel, a waste ejection board moving stage, a head lifting stage, and an application unit base. The application head comprises an ink-jet head and a head holder. An ink jet head has an ejection nozzle, and is attached to the head holder and able to be moved up and down by the head lifting stage. The waste ejection vessel is provided to the waste ejection board and able to be moved between a waste ejection position and a retreated position by the waste ejection board moving stage. Repairing material is ejected for waste onto the waste ejection board set in the vicinity of the nozzle immediately before application to repair the defect. The tip end of the nozzle is prevented from being dried.
