Liquid crystal panel with protrusions for narrowing gap between substrates thereof and method for manufacuring same

A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel, the method comprising:

• providing a first substrate and a second substrate;
• forming a plurality of signal lines and a plurality of protrusions on one of the first and second substrates, the protrusions being alternately arranged with the signal lines;
• forming a sealant to define an accommodating space, a portion of the sealant covering part of the signal lines;
• putting liquid crystal material in the accommodating space;
• pre-attaching the first and second substrates together via the sealant;
• and
• solidifying the sealant to firmly attach the first and second substrates together.

A liquid crystal panel, comprising:

• a first substrate and a second substrate parallel to each other and defining a gap therebetween;
• a sealant disposed around the gap to provide an accommodating space;
• a liquid crystal layer in the accommodating space;
• a plurality of signal lines disposed on at least one of the first and second substrates;
• and
• a plurality of protrusions at a peripheral side of the liquid crystal layer, the protrusions configured to narrow the gap thereat;
• wherein a part of each signal line is disposed between the sealant and the corresponding one of the first and second substrates, and each of the protrusions is arranged between two respective signal lines.
