Light guide plate and liquid crystal display having the same

A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel for displaying an image;
• and
• a touch panel including
• i) a first retardation member being disposed on an upper surface of the liquid crystal display panel,
• ii) a first transparent electrode disposed directly on the first retardation member
• iii) a second transparent electrode separated from the first transparent electrode by a predetermined distance,
• iv) a second retardation member disposed on the second transparent electrode, and
• v) a first polarizing member disposed on the second retardation member, and the touch panel detecting a point where the first transparent electrode is electrically connected to the second transparent electrode to detect a position of an object that touches an outer surface of the touch panel.
