A method of repairing a defective one of devices mounted on substrate is
provided. Devices are arrayed on a substrate and electrically connected
to wiring lines connected to a drive circuit, to be thus mounted on the
substrate. The devices mounted on the substrate are then subjected to an
emission test. If a defective device is detected in this test, a repair
device is mounted at a position corresponding to a position of the
defective device. At this time, after wiring lines connected to the
defective device are cut off, the repair device is electrically connected
to portions of the wiring lines, the portions of the wiring lines being
located at positions nearer to the drive circuit side than the cut-off
positions of the wiring lines. Since a defective device is repaired by a
simple step that is carried out by simply mounting and fixing a repair
device without removal of the defective device, it is possible to
eliminate the need for any complicated, microscopic work; for example,
removal of the mounted devices, and/or selective removal or repair of an
insulating layer.
