Patent ID: 6954242

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel comprising: first and second substrates; an active region on the first substrate, the active region including a plurality of thin film transistors and pixel electrodes; a pad region along a periphery of the active region and along a corresponding region of the second substrate, wherein at least one of gate and data lines extends to the pad region of the first substrate; a sealing region between the active region and the pad region; sealant in the sealing region between the first and second substrates, the sealant attaching the first substrate and the second substrate to each other; a light-shielding layer in the pad and active regions except the sealing region on the second substrate, a portion of the light-shielding layer that is in the pad region of the second substrate being located directly above the pad region of the first substrate having one of the gate and data lines extended thereto; and a liquid crystal layer within the gap and on the active region side of the sealant.
