In a gate driving circuit and a display apparatus, the gate driving circuit comprises a plurality of stages. At least one of the stages comprises a pull-up section responsive to a first node signal; a pull-down section responsive to a second input signal; a discharging section discharging the first node signal in response to the second input signal; a first holding section responsive to the first clock signal, maintaining the first node signal at the off-voltage; and a second holding section responsive to the second clock signal, maintaining the first node signal at the off-voltage. The second holding section has a greater transistor width-to-length ratio than the first holding section. Therefore, an abnormal gate-on signal is less likely to occur, reducing driving defects of the display apparatus.

A part where a wiring is disconnected is repaired by the laser CVD method while active matrix substrates for liquid crystal display devices and organic electroluminescence display devices are being manufactured. By the laser CVD method, a conductive film is selectively formed in the part where the wiring is disconnected. Thereafter, laser light is irradiated on at least a surrounding area of the conductive film, and thus conductive fine particles remaining in the surrounding area of the conductive film are removed therefrom. As a result, a leak current and parasitic capacity can be inhibited from occurring between the part where the disconnection has been repaired and another wiring.
