Patent ID: 8018543

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate disposed in parallel to each other; a liquid crystal layer; a sealant for sealing the liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; and an electrostatic protection structure disposed within a non-display area outside the sealant, wherein the electrostatic protection structure comprises: a first line disposed on the first substrate and surrounding the edge of the first substrate, wherein the first substrate has at least one common electrode line partially overlapped and electrically insulated from the first line, wherein the first substrate has an insulating layer which covers the common electrode line, and the electrostatic protection structure further comprises: a metal layer positioned between the first line and the common electrode line, wherein a part of the metal layer is covered by the insulating layer, and the metal layer is electrically connected to the first line and is partially overlapped and electrically insulated from the common electrode line.
