Abstract
A liquid crystal display which incorporates auxiliary repair lines which cross over the main address lines of the display. The repair lines can be electrically shorted to address lines at their crossover points to repair open circuited address lines. The repair may be driven from drive pads on either end to supply signals to otherwise open-circuited address lines. After a repair line has been short circuited to an address line, the remaining portion of the repair line is cut off to form a second repair line drivable from the driver pad connected to their portion of the line.
