Patent ID: 8031151

Claim:
A display panel comprising: a first display substrate including: a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction; a plurality of data lines extending in a second, different direction; a first switching element electrically connected to an n-th gate line and an m-th source line, in which m and n are natural numbers; a first metal electrode extended from an output electrode of the first switching element; a second switching element electrically connected to the n-th gate line and an (m+k)-th source line, in which k is a natural number; a second metal electrode extended from an output electrode of the second switching element; and a first insulating layer covering the first metal electrode, the first insulating layer having a recessed portion on the second metal electrode; a second display substrate combined with the first display substrate to interpose a liquid crystal layer; a first spacing member formed in a region corresponding to the first metal electrode to maintain a cell-gap between the first and second display substrates; and a second spacing member formed in a region corresponding to the recessed portion, an end portion of the second spacing member being spaced apart from the first display substrate or the second display substrate by a constant distance.
