An interconnect structure connecting two isolated metal lines in a
non-display area of a TFT-array substrate. A first metal line is disposed
on the substrate, covered with a first insulating layer. A second metal
line is disposed on the first insulating layer and covered by a second
insulating layer. ITO (indium tin oxide) wiring is disposed on the second
insulating layer, electrically connecting the first and second metal
lines. A passivation structure is disposed on the second insulating
layer, with an opening therein to expose and surround the ITO wiring.
