Abstract

A liquid crystal display panel is disclosed. The liquid crystal display panel includes: a first substrate with a conductive layer formed on one surface thereof; a color filter layer including a plurality of color filters formed on the conductive layer; a conductive light shielding layer formed between the plurality of color filters; a second substrate with a pixel array formed on one surface thereof; and a liquid crystal layer filled between the conductive light shielding layer and the pixel array, wherein the conductive layer is electrically short-circuited with the pixel array. Since a voltage is applied to the conductive layer formed on the front surface of the first substrate, liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer between the conductive layer and the pixel array can be prevented from being vertically aligned, thus improving liquid crystal efficiency.
