The invention is not limited thereto.

Of course, the second pixel electrode 534B of the present embodiment can adopt the configuration of the first pixel electrode 234A described in the first embodiment to further eliminate ambiguity during display. In detail, Fig. 8A is a partially enlarged schematic view showing another structure of the pixel structure shown in Fig. 6; and Fig. 8B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line BB' of Fig. 8A. Referring to FIGS. 8A and 8B, a slit 430 is formed between the branches 242 of the second pixel electrode 534B. As shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, the second pixel electrode 534B may also have a strip pattern 240 of a substantially parallel scan line 210 (shown in FIG. 6). In this embodiment, the second pixel electrode 534B One side of the strip pattern 240 may be connected to the branch 242 of the second pixel electrode 534B extending through the scan line 210, and the other side of the strip pattern 240 of the second pixel electrode 534B partially overlaps the scan line 210. In detail, the overlapping width of the stripe pattern 240 of the second pixel electrode 534B and the scanning line 210 is 40% to 90% of the width of the stripe pattern 240 of the second pixel electrode 534B, wherein the strip shape The overlap width W1 of the pattern 240 and the scan line 210 is substantially 1.5 um to 15 um. In other words, the overlapping width of the strip pattern 240 and the scanning line 210 is W1, and the width of the strip pattern 240 not overlapping the scanning line 210 is W2, wherein the width W of the strip pattern 240 is the sum of W1 and W2. When the pixel structure 500 is applied to an ultra high aperture design, a preferred ratio of W1 to W2 is 4 to 1, which can sufficiently reduce light leakage. On the other hand, when the pixel structure 500 is applied to a color filter film directly integrated on a thin film transistor array substrate (COA) or a black matrix fabricated on a thin film transistor array substrate (Black matrix on Array, BOA) In the design, when the ratio of W1 to W2 is 1 to 1, the light leakage phenomenon can be sufficiently reduced, and the display quality is improved. In one embodiment, the overlapping width W1 of the strip pattern 240 and the scan line 210 and the width W2 of the strip pattern 240 not overlapping the scan line 210 are, for example, 2.5 microns, respectively.

In summary, the pixel structure of the present invention has at least one or all of the following advantages:

(1) The present invention can reduce the light leakage phenomenon of the pixel structure during display by appropriately controlling the proportional relationship between the strip pattern of the pixel electrode and the overlap width of the scanning line in the pixel structure, thereby increasing the aperture ratio.

(2) The present invention can suppress the phenomenon that the liquid crystal molecules are dumped in the direction of the pixel when the pixel structure is used for display by controlling the design pattern of the pixel electrode in the vicinity of the opening of the color filter layer. .

(C) The capacitor electrode of the present invention is connected to the first pixel electrode through a branch adjacent to the periphery of the data line, thereby suppressing the pixel structure for display At this time, the phenomenon in which the liquid crystal molecules are dumped in the direction of disclination is obtained, thereby obtaining better display quality.

(4) The present invention extends the branch of the pixel electrode of the second pixel unit of the pixel structure to the upper side of the adjacent data line and spans the data lines, thereby suppressing the liquid crystal molecules when the pixel structure is used for display The phenomenon of dumping in the direction of disclination provides a high-quality display.
