A pixel structure including a first and a second pixel electrode is provided. The first pixel electrode includes a first main portion and first branches. The second pixel electrode includes a second main portion and second branches. The first and second main portions are disposed at an edge of a pixel region. The first and second branches respectively extend from the first and second main portions. The second branches and the first branches are arranged in alternation, and the first branch is parallel to the adjacent second branch. A first opening is formed at neighboring ends of the first main portion and the second main portion. The end of the first main portion has a first bending part, the first bending part is disposed at the edge of the pixel region, and an end of the second branch close to the first opening is surrounded by the first bending part.

Pixel structure
