The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel and an alignment method of the liquid crystal display panel. By inputting a voltage equal to a pixel voltage into data black-matrix less (DBS) electrodes at a gray scale 255, rotation of liquid crystals at the DBS electrodes can be consistent with rotation of liquid crystals at the pixel electrodes during an alignment process. Therefore, the present invention improves brightness at the DBS electrodes of the liquid crystal display panel at the gray scale 255, and increases light transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel.

A display substrate includes a base substrate and a plurality of insulating layers disposed on a surface of the base substrate. A groove is defined in the insulating layers in a non-display area of the display substrate. An end portion of an alignment layer is disposed in the groove. The groove is capable of controlling a flow of a liquid alignment material to prevent the liquid alignment material from overflowing to an edge of the base substrate. The groove is formed simultaneously in a process of forming contact holes in a display area of the display substrate. Accordingly, a structure corresponding to the end portion of the alignment layer to control the flow of the liquid alignment material is formed without increasing the number of masks.
