Abstract
A shift register array includes a plurality of first shift registers, a second shift register, a first connection line, a second connection line, and a third connection line. A signal output terminal of each first shift register overlaps the first connection line and the third connection line without electric connection. The first connection line is connected to a signal input terminal of the second shift register. The second connection line is connected to a signal output terminal of the second shift register, and establishes a plurality of electric connection paths. When one of the first shift registers malfunctions, the corresponding connection points and overlapping points are cut or connected so that the malfunctioned first shift register can be replaced by the second shift register.
