Patent ID: 7473927

Claim:
A pixel structure electrically connected to a scan line and a data line, comprising: a substrate; a first capacitor electrode disposed on the substrate; a capacitor dielectric layer disposed on the first capacitor electrode; a second capacitor electrode disposed on the capacitor dielectric layer, wherein the second capacitor electrode has a protrusion protruding beyond the edge of the first capacitor electrode; a passivation layer, disposed on the second capacitor electrode, having an opening that exposes the second capacitor electrode; and a pixel electrode disposed on the passivation layer and electrically connected to the second capacitor electrode through the opening in the passivation layer, wherein the protrusion protrudes beyond the edge of the pixel electrode, the pixel electrode has at least a slit formed therein, the slit extends inward from the edge of the pixel electrode, the slit has an end portion near the scan line, and the end portion is completely shielded by the protrusion of the second capacitor electrode.
