Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel having a predetermined size, containing a wiring film formed of a metal, an insulating film containing an inorganic substance and a substrate formed of a non-alkali glass, in which the metal has the product of a Young's modulus (E) and a thermal expansion coefficient (α) at room temperature falling within a predetermined range, α of the inorganic substance is smaller than that of the non-alkali glass, the non-alkali glass has E of from 70 GPa to 95 GPa and α of from 32×10 −7 to 45×10 −7 (1/° C.) in which E and α satisfies a predetermined formula, and has a predetermined composition.
