Abstract

A pixel structure uses a pixel electrode made of transparent conductive material to electrically connect a data line and a source electrode of a switching element of the adjacent sub-pixel region so that a plurality of sub-pixels can share the same data line. Consequently, the number of data lines can be reduced, and the aperture ratio (AR) can be improved.
