Abstract
A display panel includes a TFT substrate, an opposite substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a first display area, and a second display area. The opposite substrate is opposite to the TFT substrate. The liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the opposite substrate. The liquid crystal layer includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules. A horizontal electric field is formed in a portion of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the first display area. A vertical electric field is formed in the other portion of the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the second display area. When the display panel is powered on, a portion of the liquid crystal molecules in one of the horizontal electric field and the vertical electric field are rotated, and the other portion of liquid crystal molecules in the other one of the horizontal electric field and the vertical electric field are rotated.
