  • Publication number: 20110255040
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an active layer, a first alignment film, a second alignment film, a liquid crystal layer, and a sealant. The first substrate includes a display region and a sealant region encompassing the display region. The second substrate is disposed oppositely to the first substrate. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first alignment film and the second alignment film. The liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules, wherein the dielectric anisotropy of the liquid crystal molecules is substantially equal to or greater than 7, or substantially equal to or less than ?4. The sealant is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and is disposed in the sealant region. The sealant includes acrylics, wherein a weight percentage of acrylics is substantially between 50 wt % and 90 wt %.

  • Publication number: 20110085118
    Abstract: A display panel provided with a first region and a second region includes an active device array substrate, an opposite substrate, a display medium between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate and a conductive member. The active device array substrate includes an active device array, a pad located in the second region and a first alignment layer covering the first region and the second region. The opposite substrate includes an electrode layer and a second alignment layer covering the electrode layer. The ratio of a thickness of the first or second alignment layer in the second region to that in the first region is substantially greater than zero and less than or equal to about 0.43. The conductive member is located in the second region and corresponding to the pad and penetrates the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer to connect the electrode layer and the pad.

  • Publication number: 20110085119
    Abstract: A display panel having a first region, a second region and a third region is provided. The display panel includes an active device array substrate, an opposite substrate, a display medium between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate, and spacers arranged between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate for maintaining a cell gap. The active device array substrate includes an active device array in the first region, a pad in the second region, a driving circuit in the third region, and a first alignment layer covering the first region, the second region and the third region. A thickness of the first alignment layer in the third region corresponding to the driving circuit is increased to be greater than those in the first region and the second region for buffering the pressure applied by the spacers.

  • Publication number: 20110025612
    Abstract: A touch display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a touch-sensing structure, a display medium and a sealant. The touch-sensing structure and the display medium are sealed between the first and second substrates by the sealant. The sealant is formed by performing a polymerization reaction on a composition. The composition includes a bis-phenol A type epoxy acrylic monomer (20 to 50 weight percent (wt %)), an acrylic monomer (2 to 8 wt %), a photo-initiator reagent (0.5 to 5 wt %) and a hardener reagent (1 to 5 wt %). The acrylic monomer has a chemical formula represented as the following: wherein R1 is selected from hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbons, and R2 is selected from hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbons.
