Abstract:
1. A display panel comprising: an array substrate including a first base substrate, a data line arranged on the first base substrate, a gate line crossing the data line, a first switching device connected to the data line and the gate line, and a pixel electrode connected to the first switching device; an opposite substrate including a second base substrate facing the first base substrate and a common electrode arranged on the second base substrate; and a conductive spacer interposed between the array substrate and the opposite substrate and connected to the common electrode, the conductive spacer configured to electrically connect the data line and the common electrode in response to an external pressure, wherein the conductive spacer is spaced apart from the array substrate by a predetermined distance when no external pressure is applied, wherein the array substrate comprises a second switching device connected to the data line and the gate line, and a dummy pixel electrode connected to the second switching device and electrically insulated from the pixel electrode, and wherein the conductive spacer is arranged in a position at which the dummy pixel electrode is formed, so as to make contact with the dummy pixel electrode in response to the external pressure.
