## Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel. A first polarizer of the present invention has a plurality of microlens structures disposed on a side of a polarizing film adjacent to a backlight module, and the plurality of microlens structures are configured to converge light emitted by the backlight module, so that more light is converged upward and enters the polarizing film. Therefore, a light utilization rate is increased, a brightness of the liquid crystal display panel is increased, and a power consumption of the liquid crystal display panel is reduced.
