Abstract

A display panel and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The display panel includes: a first substrate, a touch spacer formed on a first substrate, a common electrode formed on the touch spacer, a second substrate opposing the first substrate, a sensing electrode facing the touch spacer on the second substrate and an alignment layer on the sensing electrode or the touch spacer, wherein the alignment layer has a thickness equal to or less than 500 Å.

Claims (14)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a first substrate;

a touch spacer on the first substrate;

a common electrode on the touch spacer;

a second substrate opposing the first substrate;

a sensing electrode facing the touch spacer on the second substrate;

an alignment layer on the sensing electrode or the touch spacer, wherein the alignment layer overlapping the sensing electrode and the touch spacer has a thickness greater than 0 Å and equal to or less than 500 Å.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the alignment layer of the area other than the sensing electrode area and touch spacer has a thickness of more than 500 Å.

3. The display panel of claim 2 , wherein the touch spacer facing the sensing electrode has at least two columns.

4. The display panel of claim 2 , wherein the touch spacer has an embossing surface.

5. The display panel of claim 2 , wherein the touch spacer has a protrusion portion on the surface.

6. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the touch spacer facing the sensing electrode has at least two columns.

7. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the touch spacer has an embossing surface.
