Abstract: A display panel includes a base substrate, a first linear pattern on the base substrate along a first direction and a second linear pattern on the first linear pattern along a second direction crossing the first direction. The display panel further includes a color filter layer on the first linear pattern and an overcoat layer on the second linear pattern. The color filter layer includes a number of color filter patterns disposed along the first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The invention also discloses a fabrication method of the display panel. The method includes forming the first linear pattern and forming the second linear pattern. Here, a gravure printing forms the first and the second linear patterns. The fabrication method further includes forming the color filter layer. The method further includes flattening the color filter layer and forming an overcoat layer on the second linear pattern.
