Abstract
A pixel structure including a pixel electrode and an alignment electrode is provided. An outline of the pixel electrode is surrounded by first long and short sides, a second long side opposite to the first long side, and a second short side opposite to the first short side. The pixel electrode has a first opening, extending along the first long side, and a second opening, extending from the first opening toward the second long side. The first opening is narrower than the second opening. The alignment electrode is physically separated from the pixel electrode and includes a first extension portion adjacent to the second long side and two supplemental portions positioned at two ends of the first extension portion. The two supplemental portions both extend from the first extension portion toward the first long side and respectively along the first short side and the second short side.
