Provided is a display panel using polymer network liquid crystal in which a monomer unreacted region is reduced and a thin-film transistor can be prevented from being irradiated with light energy. In the display panel, a black matrix (22a) is provided as an element having a light-shielding property in a first substrate (2a), a pixel electrode (37) and a thin-film transistor (32) serving as a switching element for driving the pixel electrode (37) are provided in a second substrate (3a), polymer network liquid crystal (11) is filled between the first substrate (2a) and the second substrate (3a), a cover portion (221) that is part of the black matrix (22a) provided in the first substrate (2a) faces the thin-film transistor (32) provided in the second substrate (3a), and the outer periphery of the cover portion (221) is located outside the outer periphery of a channel region by a specified dimension or more. |

1. A display panel, comprising:
a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate having a light-shielding element, the second substrate having a pixel electrode and a thin film transistor that drives the pixel electrode, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are disposed to face each other having a gap therebetween, and a polymer network liquid crystal is filled between the first substrate and the second substrate, and wherein the light-shielding element is disposed in a location that faces the thin film transistor, and an outer periphery of the light-shielding element is located outside an outer periphery of a channel region of the thin film transistor at a distance of at least 10 μm greater than a sum of “a length of the channel region,” “a height of a surface of an uppermost layer in the second substrate from a surface of the channel region,” and “a thickness of the polymer network liquid crystal,” when viewed from a direction that is perpendicular to a plane direction of the first substrate and the second substrate. |
