Patent ID: 8130209

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a touch spacer formed in a first substrate; a common electrode formed to cover the touch spacer; a first touch conductive line formed in a first direction in a second substrate opposite to the first substrate; a second touch conductive line formed in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first touch conductive line; and first and second contact electrodes respectively electrically connected to the first and second touch conductive lines, portions of the first and second contact electrodes formed at a same height within the second substrate, wherein the portions of the first and second contact electrodes contact the common electrode by the touch spacer in a contact position, and wherein a plurality of first edges defining the portion of the first contact electrode face a plurality of second edges defining the portion of the second contact electrode, wherein at least two of the first edges extend in different directions and are substantially parallel to corresponding at least two of the second edges, wherein the second substrate comprises: a gate line formed substantially in parallel with the first touch conductive line; a gate insulating layer formed to cover the first touch conductive line and the gate line; a data line formed on the gate insulating layer substantially in parallel with the second touch conductive line; a passivation film formed to cover the data line and having a first contact hole which exposes a portion of the data line; and a pixel electrode formed on the passivation film to be electrically connected to the data line, wherein the first and second touch conductive lines are formed at a same level as the gate line and the data line, respectively, so that a step difference exists between the first and second touch conductive lines, wherein the first contact electrode is formed on the passivation film and is electrically connected to the first touch conductive line via a second contact hole which penetrates the passivation film and the gate insulating layer, and the second contact electrode is formed on the passivation film and is electrically connected to the second touch conductive line via a third contact hole, wherein the first contact electrode comprises a first electrode contact portion electrically connected to the first touch conductive line via the second contact hole and a first electrode extending portion extending from the first electrode contact portion, and the second contact electrode comprises a second electrode contact portion electrically connected to the second touch conductive line via the third contact hole and a second electrode extending portion extending from the second electrode contact portion, wherein the first and second electrode extending portions are alternately arranged.
