Patent ID: 8390767

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a display panel, the method comprising: forming a display panel comprising a first substrate, the first substrate including a pixel electrode disposed thereon, a second substrate having a common electrode disposed thereon, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and the second substrates, the liquid crystal layer comprising a plurality of liquid crystal molecules and a plurality of ultraviolet-curable particles; and curing a portion of the ultraviolet-curable particles by disposing light on the display panel, wherein an exposure voltage, which is greater than a maximum data voltage which corresponds to a maximum grayscale data of the display panel, is applied between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, wherein the pixel electrode comprises: a lower pixel electrode, which receives a first data voltage; and a higher pixel electrode, which receives a second data voltage, wherein the second data voltage is greater than the first data voltage, wherein the curing of the portion of the ultraviolet-curable particles further comprises: applying a first exposure voltage to the lower pixel electrode, wherein the first exposure voltage is greater than the maximum data voltage; and applying a second exposure voltage to the higher pixel electrode, wherein the second exposure voltage is greater than the first exposure voltage.
