Abstract
Flat panel displays are provided with overlying interconnected and hence redundant bus lines to reduce fatal defects. The redundant, generally row lines are interconnected at least at two locations on a line and can be connected at each pixel to further reduce defects. The redundant row or gate line is formed by an overlying light shield line which preferably is of low resistivity and enhances the operation of the displays. The display can include subdivided subpixels and one defective subpixel is generally an acceptable non-fatal display defect, since the rest of the subpixels are still operative. The subpixels can be formed with common or redundant column bus lines.
