A liquid crystal display panel includes an active component array substrate, a color filter substrate, a pair of alignment films and a liquid crystal layer. The active component array substrate has a first plane. The color filter substrate has a second plane opposite to the first plane. The alignment films are disposed on the first plane and the second plane respectively. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the alignment films and includes a liquid crystal material, a photo initiator and a first monomer material. The liquid crystal material, the photo initiator and the first monomer material are mixed together. When being irradiated by ultraviolet light, the photo initiator enables the first monomer material to react in a polymerization to form the alignment films.

A plasma display panel with a gray level white balance device is described. The plasma display panel with a gray level white balance device has a digital board, a display control circuit and a color plasma display panel. The digital board utilizes the gray level white balance device to modify gray levels of the image to fit the gray levels of the color plasma display panel according to a gray level lookup table. The gray level lookup table is established by measuring the color temperature and color deviation of the color plasma display panel at different gray levels. Curve fitting or linear regression techniques further utilize to enhance the resolution of the gray level lookup table.
