Abstract
A pixel structure including a substrate, a scan line, a data line, an active device, a capacitor electrode line, an upper electrode pattern and a pixel electrode is described. The scan line and the data line are disposed on the substrate. The active device is electrically connected to the scan line and the data line. The capacitor electrode is disposed on the substrate. The upper electrode pattern is disposed above the capacitor electrode line, and the upper electrode pattern has a first opening therein to expose the capacitor electrode pattern. The pixel electrode is electrically connected with the active device and covers the capacitor electrode line and the upper electrode pattern, wherein the pixel electrode has a middle portion and a plurality of branches connecting to the middle portion, and the middle portion has a second opening therein to expose the first opening.
