Abstract

A liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight module and a composite tape. The composite tape is assembled to the liquid crystal display panel and the backlight module, wherein the composite tape comprises an insulating layer, a first adhesive layer and an electrically conductive layer. The first adhesive layer is formed at one side of the insulating layer. The electrically conductive layer is formed at another side of the insulating layer, wherein the electrically conductive layer is in touch with an electrically conductive element of the liquid crystal display apparatus to be connected to ground.
