A touch panel-mounted liquid crystal panel minimizes picture distortion upon driving of the touch panel. In the liquid crystal panel, a lower glass substrate has switching devices provided in the vicinity of intersections between data lines and gate lines. An upper glass substrate has a black matrix joined to it. Patterned clusters of spacers are positioned at an area corresponding to the black matrix in such a manner to enlarge its contact area with the upper glass substrate, thereby keeping a uniform distance between the upper and lower glass substrates. The enlarged contact area allows the patterned clusters of spacers to sufficiently absorb a pressure load of a finger or a stylus pen. Accordingly, uniform distance between the upper and lower glass substrates is maintained even upon driving the touch panel. As a result, light deterioration and local image distortion is prevented or minimized.
