Abstract
This invention relates to liquid crystal display with a touch panel that does not overlap with a display area of liquid crystal panel but is still capable of obtaining a non-touch area.
Claims23
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display with a touch panel, comprising:
- joining an upper substrate to a lower substrate of a liquid crystal panel, the lower substrate having an alignment mark;
- adhering a tape carrier package using the alignment mark, on which a driving circuit is mounted, to one side of the lower substrate;
- and
- mounting a touch panel on the upper substrate after adhering the tape carrier package to the lower substrate, wherein at least one edge of the touch panel extends further than at least one edge of the upper substrate such that the edge of the touch panel covers the alignment mark in a plan view.

A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a liquid crystal panel having an upper substrate and a lower substrate joined together, the lower substrate having an alignment mark for adhering a tape carrier package to the liquid crystal panel;
- a tape carrier package joined to one side of the lower substrate and having a driving circuit mounted on it;
- and
- a touch panel mounted on the upper substrate, wherein on at least one side of the upper substrate the touch panel extends beyond the upper substrate ending at a position in a plan view overlapped with the tape carrier package on the lower substrate.
1 more element
A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a lower substrate having a lower polarizing plate adhered thereto, the lower substrate having an alignment mark for adhering a tape carrier package to the lower substrate;
- an upper substrate having an upper polarizing plate adhered thereto, wherein the lower and upper substrates includes a display area and a non-display area;
- a black matrix formed at an outer edge of the upper substrate of the non-display area;
- a tape carrier package connecting the lower substrate to a printed circuit board;
- and
- a touch panel mounted on the upper polarizing plate and having a non-touch area where picture information cannot be controlled, wherein on at least one side of the upper substrate the touch panel extends beyond the upper substrate and the non-touch area does not overlap the display area of the lower and upper substrates such that the non-touch area of the touch panel ends at a position overlapped with the tape carrier package on the second substrate.
