Patent ID: 8603844

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a pixel structure, comprising: providing a substrate; forming a thin film transistor on the substrate; forming an insulating layer on the substrate, so as to cover the substrate and the thin film transistor; patterning the insulating layer by a half-tone mask so as to form a protruding pattern, a sunken pattern connected to the protruding pattern, and a contact window disposed inside the sunken pattern, wherein the protruding pattern is thicker than the sunken pattern, and the contact window passed through the sunken pattern and exposes a drain electrode of the thin film transistor; forming a transparent conductive layer on the substrate, so as to cover the protruding pattern and the sunken pattern, and is filled in the contact window; forming a passivation layer, so as to cover the transparent conductive layer; and removing a part of the passivation layer located on the protruding pattern, a part of the transparent conductive layer on the protruding pattern, and a part of the passivation layer located within the contact window, so that a pixel electrode pattern is formed from the transparent conductive layer.
