Patent ID: 8199116

Claim:
A display panel comprising: an array substrate including: a plurality of gate lines; a plurality of data lines crossing the gate lines; a plurality of pixels driven by the gate lines and the data lines; a plurality of first signal lines extended substantially in parallel with the gate lines; a plurality of second signal lines extended substantially in parallel with the data lines; an insulation layer covering the first and second signal lines; a plurality of first sensing electrodes disposed on the insulation layer and electrically connected to the first signal lines; and a plurality of second sensing electrodes disposed on the insulation layer and electrically connected to the second signal lines; and an opposite substrate combined with the array substrate interposing a liquid crystal layer there between, the opposite substrate including: an opposite base substrate; and first and second protruded electrodes protruding from the opposite substrate and disposed overlapping the first and second sensing electrode, respectively, wherein the first and second protruded electrodes contact the first and second sensing electrodes, respectively, to be electrically connected to the first and second signal lines, when applied with an externally provided pressure, wherein the first and second protruded electrodes electrically are spaced apart from the first and second sensing electrodes, when not applied with an externally provided pressure.
