Abstract: The composition for a barrier rib of the present invention includes a metal oxide sol and a glass frit. The metal oxide sol includes a photoacid generator, and the difference between the average refractive index (N1) of the metal oxide sol and average refractive index (N2) of the glass frit satisfies the following Equation 1: ?0.2?N1?N2?0.
