Abstract

A display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate, and a spacer is provided. The first substrate has a common potential line and at least one testing line separated from the common potential line, and the second substrate is disposed above the first substrate. The spacer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and includes at least one conducting particle. The common potential line is electrically connected to the testing line via the conducting particle. An assembling method of the display panel mentioned above and a liquid crystal display using the display panel are also provided.

Claims (31)
