Display panel and manufacturing method for the same

A liquid crystal display panel, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a dam disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate along edges of the first and second substrates, the dam including an insulating material and being spaced apart from the liquid crystal layer;
• a sealing member disposed between the first and second substrates, the sealing member being between the liquid crystal layer and the dam;
• and
• at least one conductive member having an end portion positioned on the first substrate or the second substrate, a terminal edge of the end portion being coplanar with a lateral surface of the sealing member, and the terminal edge of the end portion contacting the dam to be electrically blocked from the outside.

A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display panel, comprising:

• defining a plurality of cells on first and second substrates, the first and second substrates facing each other;
• forming a thin film transistor in each cell on the first substrate;
• forming a color filter and a common electrode in each of the plurality of cells on the second substrate;
• forming a dam along boundaries of the defined cells on the second substrate;
• forming a sealing member on the second substrate adjacent to the dam, each sealing member being between an interior of a respective cell and the dam;
• forming a liquid crystal layer in the interior of each cell;
• forming a driving circuit area along a first side in each cell of the plurality of cells on the second substrate, such that the dam is formed along three sides, other than the first side, of each cell;
• sealing the first substrate and the second substrate, such that each of the dam and the sealing member is between the first and second substrates;
• and
• cutting out each cell through the dam, such that the dam is along edges of the first and second substrates in each cell, and the first substrate, second substrate, and dam having a same outermost incision surface,
• wherein the dam extends continuously only along the three different sides of the first substrate to define an approximate U-shape along respective edges of the three sides, and an outermost surface of the first substrate along the three different sides being substantially level with an outermost surface of the second substrate and the dam.
