(79) If the block K and the components thereon shown by the dashed line in
(80) It should be noted that in the manufacturing process of the pixel array substrate 10F, the block K and the base 110 are originally the same base material. In the manufacturing process of the pixel array substrate 10F, the plurality of pixel structures PX, the plurality of first bonding pads P.sub.SW1, the first testing element 130, and the testing pad P.sub.t0 located on the block K are formed on the front surface of the base material, wherein the first testing line L.sub.t1 of the first testing element 130 passes through the predetermined cutting path C1 and is electrically connected to the testing pad P.sub.t0, the plurality of wires 136 are electrically connected to the same first testing line L.sub.t1, and the plurality of wires 136 are respectively electrically connected to the plurality of first bonding pads P.sub.SW1; in addition, the plurality of second bonding pads P.sub.SW2, the second testing element 140, the plurality of first chip pads P.sub.IC1, and the plurality of first fan-out traces L.sub.F1 are also formed on the back surface of the base material; then, the plurality of first wirings L.sub.SW1 are formed on the sidewall of the base material.
(81) After the plurality of first wirings L.sub.SW1 are formed, a testing step is performed to test whether the plurality of first wirings L.sub.SW1 may be operated normally. In particular, during the testing step, the plurality of wires 136 are electrically connected to the same first testing line L.sub.t1, and the plurality of wires 136 are respectively electrically connected to the plurality of first bonding pads P.sub.SW1. For example, in the present embodiment, a signal may be input to the testing pad P.sub.t0 located on the block K, and a plurality of signals of the plurality of first testing pads P.sub.t1 may be received at different time points. According to the plurality of signals of the plurality of first testing pads P.sub.t1, whether the plurality of first wirings L.sub.SW1 respectively corresponding to the plurality of first testing pads P.sub.t1 may be operated normally may be determined.
(82) After the above testing step is completed, a cutting process is performed along the cutting path C1 to remove the block K. When the block K is removed, the first testing line L.sub.t1 passing through the cutting path C1 is cut off. Therefore, on the finished pixel array substrate 10F, the end E of the first testing line L.sub.t1 is substantially aligned with the edge 110e of the base 110. In addition, after the above testing step is completed, the plurality of wires 136 originally electrically connected to the same first testing line L.sub.t1 are disconnected from the first testing line L.sub.t1, and each of the wires 136 has the disconnection 136a from the first testing line L.sub.t1, so that in the finished pixel array substrate 10F, the plurality of first bonding pads P.sub.SW1 may be used to transmit respective signals.
