First Embodiment
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a pixel array according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a pixel array 200 of this embodiment includes a plurality of scan lines SL (only scan lines SL(n) and SL(n+1) are schematically illustrated in FIG. 1), a plurality of data lines DL (only data lines DL(m) and DL(m+1) are schematically illustrated in FIG. 1) and a plurality of sub-pixels P2. The data lines DL and the scan lines SL are intersected to define a plurality of sub-pixel regions, and each sub-pixel P2 is disposed in the corresponding sub-pixel region. It is noted that only a portion of the sub-pixels P2 are schematically illustrated in FIG. 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of the sub-pixels P2 arranged in an array can be appropriately adjusted depending on the required image resolution.
Each sub-pixel P2 is electrically connected to one of the scan lines SL and one of the data lines DL correspondingly. In this embodiment, the sub-pixels P2 are arranged in a plurality of rows, and the sub-pixels P2 arranged in the nth row are electrically connected to the nth scan line SL(n) and the (n+1)th scan line SL(n+1). In details, each sub-pixel P2 arranged in the nth row includes a first switch TFT1, a second switch TFT2, a first pixel electrode ITO1, a second pixel electrode ITO2 and a third switch TFT3. The first switch TFT1 and the second switch TFT2 are electrically connected the nth scan line SL(n) and the mth data line DL(m), and the first switch TFT1 has a signal output terminal D1. The first pixel electrode ITO1 is electrically connected to the signal output terminal D1 of the first switch TFT1. The second pixel electrode ITO2 is electrically connected the second switch TFT2 and has, for example, at least one first aperture AP1 above the signal output terminal D1. Since the first aperture AP1 can effectively reduce the parasitic capacitance between the signal output terminal D1 and the second pixel electrode ITO2, the first aperture AP1 is beneficial to enhance the display quality. It is for sure that the first aperture AP1 above the signal output terminal D1 is an optional design. The present invention is not limited by the embodiment in which the second pixel electrode ITO2 is required to have the first aperture AP1.
In this embodiment, the first switch TFT1 and the second switch TFT2 of each sub-pixel P2 arranged in the nth row are disposed between the nth scan line SL(n) and the (n+1)th scan line SL(n+1). Further, the third switch TFT3 is electrically connected to the (n+1)th scan line SL(n+1) and the second pixel electrode ITO2 and has a floating terminal D3. The second pixel electrode ITO2 has at least one second aperture AP2 above the floating terminal D3. Since the second aperture AP2 can effectively reduce the parasitic capacitance between the floating terminal D3 and the second pixel electrode ITO2, the second aperture AP2 is beneficial to enhance the display quality.

The third gate G3 is electrically connected to the (n+1)th scan line SL(n+1), and the third source S3 is electrically connected to the second pixel electrode ITO2.
It is noted that the second pixel electrode ITO2 of this embodiment has a first opening OP for accommodating the first pixel electrode ITO2, and the first pixel electrode ITO1 is surrounded by the second pixel electrode ITO2 in each sub-pixel P2. In details, each second pixel electrode ITO2 includes a first sub-electrode portion B1, a second sub-electrode portion B2 and at least one connection line C. Herein, the width of the connection line C is, for example, more than 2 μm. The connection line C is connected to the first sub-electrode portion B1 and the second sub-electrode portion B2.

As shown in FIG. 1, each floating terminal D3 of this embodiment extends from the (n+1)th scan line SL(n+1) to under the second sub-electrode portion B2 and the first pixel electrode ITO1 correspondingly. In other words, each floating terminal D3 is partially overlapped with the corresponding first pixel electrode ITO1, so that their overlapping parts are coupled to form a first capacitance Ccs-a. It is noted that the first pixel electrode ITO1 has a cross pattern and a plurality of stripe patterns extending outwardly from the cross pattern, and the stripe patterns extends in different directions. In details, the stripe patterns of the first pixel electrode ITO1 define four alignment domains. In this embodiment, since the first capacitance Ccs-a is disposed under the cross pattern of the first pixel electrode ITO1, the aperture ratio is not seriously degraded due to the deposition of the first capacitance Ccs-a.
Similarly, the second pixel electrode ITO2 also has a cross pattern and a plurality of stripe patterns extending outwardly from the cross pattern. The first sub-electrode portion B1 and the second sub-electrode portion B2 of the second pixel electrode ITO2 define eight alignment domains.

In other words, each floating terminal D3 is at least partially overlapped with the corresponding second common line COM2, so that their overlapping parts are coupled to form a second capacitance Ccs-b.
When a high voltage Vgh is applied to the scan line SL(n), the image data can be recorded into each sub-pixel P2 electrically connected to the scan line SL(n) through the data lines DL(m−1) and DL (m); and meanwhile, the first pixel electrode ITO1 and the second pixel electrode ITO2 have the same voltage. Thereafter, when a high voltage is applied to the scan line SL(n+1), the first capacitance Ccs-a and the second capacitance Ccs-b make the first pixel electrode ITO1 and the second pixel electrode ITO2 have different voltages.
In this embodiment, in each sub-pixel P2, the first pixel electrode ITO1 is coupled to the first common line COM1 to form a first storage capacitance, and the first pixel electrode ITO1 is couple to a common electrode on the opposite substrate (e.g. color filter substrate) to form a first liquid crystal capacitance. Similarly, the second pixel electrode ITO2 is coupled to the second common line COM2 to form a second storage capacitance, and the second pixel electrode ITO2 is couple to the common electrode on the opposite substrate (e.g. color filter substrate) to form a second liquid crystal capacitance.
In an embodiment of the present invention, since the first pixel electrode ITO1 is surrounded by the second pixel electrode ITO2 in each sub-pixel P2, the crosstalk phenomenon between the two adjacent first pixel electrodes ITO1 can be improved by the shielding phenomenon of the connection lines C.
