Abstract
A display panel includes an array substrate in which a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged, and the counter substrate. A non-display area of the array substrate is provided with the transfer electrode for supplying a potential to the counter substrate. The counter substrate includes: a first film; a counter electrode placed closer to the array substrate in relation to the first film, and supplied with the potential from the transfer electrode; and an alignment film stacked on the counter electrode. The counter substrate includes first grooves provided between a display area and a transfer overlapping area overlapping with the transfer electrode, the first grooves penetrating the counter electrode and at least a portion of the first film. The first grooves extend in a first longitudinal direction, and are formed in broken line in the first longitudinal direction.
