A touch panel display and method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The touch panel display includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a touch-sensing member, and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate has a first surface and a second surface thereon. The second substrate has an element array and is disposed on the second surface of the first substrate. The touch-sensing member locates on the first surface of the first substrate. Furthermore, the touch-sensing member includes a conductive layer, a patterned electrode layer, and a protective layer. The patterned electrode layer is correspondingly located on the periphery of the first substrate. The protective layer covers the conductive layer, and the patterned electrode layer. The conductive layer locates between the protective layer and the first substrate. In addition, the liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and the second substrate.
