  • Patent number: 11815767
    Abstract: A display panel includes a color filter (CF) substrate including first support structures, a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate including second support structures, and a liquid crystal layer. Each of the first support structures resists against the TFT substrate, and each of the second support structures resists against the CF substrate to form a receiving space between the CF substrate and the TFT substrate, the receiving space contains the liquid crystal layer. The TFT substrate applies driving signals to the liquid crystal layer to modulate backlight received by the liquid crystal layer from a backlight source. The CF substrate allows light to be emitted as images by filtering the modulated backlight.
