A liquid crystal display panelof the present invention includes an array substratewith a display region in which a pixel electrode is formed in each of the regions enclosed by a plurality of signal lines and scan lines deployed as matrices, a opposed substratewith a common electrode, a sealing agentsealing a peripheral portion of the array substrateand the opposed substrate, a liquid crystal layer sealed between both substrates, a border regionincluding a reflectorand a transparent electrodeis formed on an interlayerat a periphery of the display region of the array substrate, and at least a part of an outer peripheral side is lacking from the common electrodeat a position corresponding to the border region. Thanks to such structure, the border region improves the appearance at the periphery of the display region, and the phenomenon of night vision alongside the scan line wiring does not occur.

Liquid crystal display panel having an ornamental reflector deployed around the periphery of a display region

A liquid crystal display panelof the invention has: an array substrate with a display regionin which a pixel electrode is formed in each of the regions enclosed by a plurality of signal lines and scan lines deployed as matrices; a opposed substrate with a common electrode; and a liquid crystal layer that is sealed between the array substrate and the opposed substrate by means of sealing agentthat seals together the peripheries of the two substrates. Features are: the periphery of the array substrate's display regionis covered by a border regionthat has a reflectorand a continuous transparent electrodethe outer periphery of the border regionis sealed by the sealing agentand the border region's transparent electrodeis electrically coupled to the common electrode. Thanks to such structure, the border region improves the appearance at the periphery of the display region, and the phenomenon of night vision alongside the scan line wiring does not occur.
