Display panel

A display panel having a variant external shape, the display panel comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate;
• liquid crystal sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a seal made of a photosetting material, the seal being provided outside a display region, the seal being used to seal the liquid crystal by bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together;
• and
• a metallic pattern provided on the first substrate or the second substrate, the metallic pattern including a plurality of slits through which light with which the seal is irradiated passes,
• wherein the display panel has a variant portion, a first non-variant portion, and a second non-variant portion disposed in an outer region of the display panel, the variant portion being disposed between the first non-variant portion and the second non-variant portion along an external shape of the display panel,
• the metallic pattern includes a first metallic pattern in the variant portion, a second metallic pattern in the first non-variant portion, and a third metallic pattern in the second non-variant portion, the first metallic pattern being formed along the external shape of the variant portion of the display panel from a first boundary between the variant portion and the first non-variant portion to a second boundary between the variant portion and the second non-variant portion,
• the plurality of slits including first slits in the variant portion, second slits in the first non-variant portion, and third slits in the second non-variant portion, the first slits being formed in the first metallic pattern along the external shape of the variant portion of the display panel from the first boundary to the second boundary, and
• the metallic pattern overlaps with the seal at the variant portion of the display panel in plan view.
