First Claim
1. A display panel comprising:
- an array substrate including;
a plurality of data lines;
a plurality of gate lines crossing the data lines;
a plurality of first signal lines substantially parallel to the gate lines;
a plurality of second signal lines substantially parallel to the data lines;
a plurality of pixels including a pixel electrode and a common electrode insulated from the pixel electrode;
a plurality of first sensing electrodes, each of the first sensing electrodes disposed on a respective one of the first signal lines and electrically connected to a respective one of the first signal lines; and
a plurality of second sensing electrodes, each of the second sensing electrodes disposed on a respective one of the second signal lines and electrically connected to a respective one of the second signal lines; and
an opposite substrate combined with the array substrate to receive a liquid crystal layer and including a plurality of connecting members overlapping with a respective one of the first sensing electrodes and a respective one of the second sensing electrodes, at least one of the connecting members electrically connected to at least one of the first sensing electrodes and the second sensing electrodes by an externally provided pressure.

Abstract
A display panel includes an array substrate and an opposite substrate. The array substrate includes a plurality of data lines, a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of first signal lines, a plurality of second signal lines and a plurality of pixels. Each of the pixels includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode insulated from the pixel electrode. The opposite substrate includes a plurality of connecting members. At least one of the connecting members is electrically connected to at least one of the first signal lines and the second signal lines by an externally provided pressure. Thus, when an externally provided pressure is applied to the display panel in order to perform a touch screen function, an alignment of the liquid crystal molecules disposed on the array substrate may not be substantially changed, and a display quality may be improved.
