Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display module, and more particularly to a pixel array substrate of a liquid crystal display module and a repairing method thereof. [Prior Art] The development of technology is changing rapidly. Flat-panel displays have been widely used in notebook computers, digital cameras, digital video cameras, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones. In the case of a thin film transistor liquid crystal display, the bonding technique of driving a wafer to a halogen matrix substrate is a major trend in the future with chip on glass (COG). The glass-bonding technology is to directly mount the driver wafer on the glass substrate, which can increase the packing density and reduce the weight, make the panel thinner, reduce the use of materials, reduce the production cost and improve the panel resolution. Referring to FIG. 1 , a schematic plan view of a pixel array substrate according to a conventional flat panel display using a glass die bonding technique is shown (the number of wires or lines is merely an illustration, and the number of lines that do not really represent a physical object). The circuit board 1 接收 receives or generates the data signal and the power required to display the surface, and then transmits it to the pixel array substrate 3 through the flexible circuit board 20. The pixel array substrate 30 is divided into a display area 40 and a non-display area (area other than the display area 40). In the non-display area, the data driving chip 34 and the scanning driving chip 36 are directly connected to the glass substrate through a metal, a polymer resin or a conductive adhesive, which is called a so-called COG. On the other hand, a plurality of parallel scan lines 42 and a plurality of parallel data lines 44 of 201024874 are alternately formed in the display area 40, and two adjacent data lines 44 and two adjacent scan lines 42 define a pixel. After the control signal and power are transferred to the pixel array substrate 30, the traces 32 on the non-display area on the substrate distribute the signals and power to the plurality of feed drive wafers 34 and the scan drive wafers 36. The original control signal is generated by the logic circuit in each chip to generate the halogen data, and the halogen data is respectively transmitted to the data line 44 or the scan line 42 in the pixel array via the fan-out wire (fan_out) 38, thereby turning on or off. Break each element and give each picture information. Generally speaking, 'installing the driver chip and the flexible circuit board in the flat panel display' will first perform full contact test (full c〇ntacttest) on the pixel array substrate 3 with the test probe card (pr〇becard). The electrical quality of the stage semi-finished product 'typically the probe of the probe card is in contact with the front end of the sector wire 38. Since the front end of the fan-out wire 38 is directly connected to the pin of the driving chip at a subsequent stage, the pitch is as small as 2 〇 3 〇 / / m, and the current probe card is insufficient to support such a high degree of accumulation as the COG substrate. The wire to be tested. Therefore, it is necessary to pull the fan-out wire 38 to other parts of the substrate and additionally form a test pad having a wide pitch to enable the probe card full-contact test. However, the data driving chip 34 and the trace 32 are traversed between the fan-out wire 38 and the edge of the substrate 10. The wire is pulled out by the fan-out wire 38. It is necessary to cross the wire 32 and be inserted through the pins of the data driving chip 34. Between the pads 32 of the line 32 (not shown), the process is not only complicated but also easy to derive problems such as short circuit between the trace and the test line. For the above reasons, the current solution in the industry is from the end of the data line 7 201024874

The test pad 50 is disposed outside the cutting line D. Once the glass substrate is cut out of the single substrate, the test pad 50 is cut off and does not appear on the pixel array substrate. Each probe of the test probe card is electrically contacted with each test pad 50, and the test signal is input to the pixel array from the data line end 44b via the test pad 50 and the test line 48'. Thereafter, whether the pixel is detected can be based on When the test signal is turned on or off, it can detect whether the pixel array is defective. However, only the data line defects located between the test 塾5〇 and the data line front end 44a will be detected if the fan-out wire between the data line front end 44a and the data drive chip 34 is broken due to poor process or other factors. Defects cannot be detected by the above test method. The product substrate of this type of COG cannot effectively detect the defects of the fan-out wire 38 when the phase of the halogen array process is completed before the test of the driver wafer is mounted. The defects of this type of fan-out wire in the process must be discovered after the driver chip is mounted for testing, which will result in a large loss or a high rework cost.

The pixel array substrate of the liquid crystal display module has a fan-out wire for connecting the driving chip and the pixel array, and is formed by two metal layers, which can greatly reduce the probability of the fan-out wire generating defects. The following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. . Please refer to FIG. 2, which illustrates a side view of a liquid crystal display module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The display module 100 of the preferred embodiment includes a first substrate 102, a second substrate 104, and a liquid crystal layer 106. The first substrate 102 is disposed in parallel with the second substrate 104, and the liquid crystal layer 1 is filled and sealed between the first substrate 102 and the second substrate 104. The first substrate 1〇2 is, for example, a halogen array substrate having a display area A and a wafer waiting area C. The driving wafer 108 is disposed in the wafer waiting area C by a chip on glass (COG), and a plurality of pixels 110 are arranged in a matrix in the display area A (as shown in FIG. 3). FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the first substrate according to FIG. 2 . In addition to the display area A, the first substrate 102 further includes a plurality of driving chips 108 and a plurality of wiring lines 134. The driving wafers 108, 10Sa and 108b are disposed in the wafer holding area C (refer to FIG. 2), and the wiring 134 is interposed between the wafer holding area C and the edge of the substrate 102, and is respectively connected to the driving wafer 108, 10 201024874 χ ττ My λ. λ λ 108a and 108b to the flexible circuit board 130 for distributing power and data signals to the plurality of driving chips 1 〇 8, 108a and 108b via the flexible circuit board 130. In the display area A, the pixel array on the first substrate 102 is composed of a plurality of parallel scanning lines, a plurality of parallel data lines, and a thin film transistor. The first scan line 10a and the second scan line 101b are disposed in parallel with each other in the display area A. The first data line 103a and the second data line 103b are also disposed in parallel with each other in the display area A, and the first data line i〇 The 3a and the second asset line 103b define a pixel 11 垂直 vertically interlaced with the first scan line 101a and the second scan line 101b. A plurality of thin film transistors U1 are respectively formed in a plurality of pixels 11 , and the thin film transistor m is electrically connected to the first scan line 101 a and the first data line 1 〇 3 a to receive the data transmitted from the driving chip. Signal. A fan-out wire 120 connects the wafer holding area C (Fig. 2) and the display area A' to electrically connect the driving chip 〇8 and the halogen 11 (). The fan-out wire 120 includes a first metal layer 122, an insulating layer 124, and a second metal layer 126; the first metal layer 122 is formed on the first substrate 1〇2, and the insulating layer 124 is formed on the first metal layer ι22. The second metal layer ι26 is formed on the insulating layer 124. The fan-out wire 12 is formed by two metal layers, and the wire breakage must be caused in the case where the two metal layers are broken, which can greatly reduce the probability of occurrence of defects, which is an insurance mechanism. Therefore, the present embodiment is particularly suitable for the end detection method in which it is impossible to detect whether or not the fan-out wire is defective. Even when the pixel array substrate of the present embodiment is detected, the test pad is pulled out from the end of the data line, but the defect occurs due to the fan-out wire. The probability of 201024874, becomes very low, so that the problem of failing to detect fan-out wire defects before the installation of the driver wafer 108 for testing no longer causes significant losses. Furthermore, in the case where the width of the fan-out wire is constant, the line becomes twice as wide and the impedance can be reduced to one-half. 4A is a partial top plan view of a pixel array substrate in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4B-4B' of FIG. 4A. The second metal layer 126 of the fan-out wire 120 is preferably overlying the first metal layer 122 of the fan-out wire 120 via the insulating layer 124. The second metal layer 126 and the first metal layer 122 may be partially overlapped or may be completely coincident. It seems that the two separate wires are actually connected to the pins of the same drive chip and the pixels in the same column. Referring to FIG. 2, the insulating layer 124 has contact holes (such as 127 of FIG. 2, directly under the other contact hole 128, which is currently filled by the second metal layer 126, and 129 as shown in FIG. 2). The second metal layer 126 is connected to the first metal layer 122 through the contact holes 127 and 129. The pin of the driving chip 108 is electrically connected to the second metal layer 126 through another contact hole 128. Therefore, it appears that the two separate wirings are actually electrically connected to the same driving ❹ wafer pin and the same column of pixels to provide a structure of the fan-out wire 120 as a two-layer path.
