Display panel and display device having the same

Abstract

A display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer. The second substrate faces the first substrate. The second substrate includes a switching device that is electrically connected to a data line and a gate line, a pixel electrode that is electrically connected to the switching device, and an interference-reducing member that reduces electrical interference between the data line and the pixel electrode. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second substrates, with the liquid crystal layer being operated in an optical compensated bend (OCB) mode. Therefore, an electric interference between the data line and the pixel electrode is prevented and the bend alignment state is stably maintained. Additionally, a manufacturing cost is lowered.
