Patent number: 8953111Abstract: A pixel array includes scan lines, data lines, sub-pixel units, capacitor electrode line sets, and connecting structure sets that are all disposed on a substrate. Each sub-pixel unit has at least one active device and at least one pixel electrode electrically connected to the active device, and the active device is electrically connected to one of the scan lines and one of the data lines. Each capacitor electrode line set has N capacitor electrode lines, the N capacitor electrode lines partially overlap with the pixel electrode of each of the sub-pixel units to form a plurality of storage capacitors, and N?2. The N capacitor electrode lines in each capacitor electrode line set are electrically connected to one another by each connecting structure set, and there is no connecting structure located between the capacitor electrode line sets having the connecting structures therein.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Chiu-Chun Wang, Tsung-Yuan Tsui, Chai-Ling Lai, Chi-Kao Tang

Patent number: 7768616Abstract: A pixel structure including an active device, a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a coupling line, a common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer is provided. The first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode have a plurality of sets of stripped electrode patterns extending along different directions, respectively, and the first pixel electrode is electrically insulated from the second pixel electrode. The coupling line is disposed under the first and the second pixel electrode and electrically insulated from the second pixel electrode. The first pixel electrode is electrically connected to the active device through the coupling line. The common electrode is disposed over the first and the second pixel electrode. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the common electrode and the first and second pixel electrodes. Moreover, the liquid crystal layer has two polymer layers and a liquid crystal molecule layer disposed between the polymer layers.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Shu-I Huang, Wei-Chieh Sun, Chih-Yu Peng, Ya-Chieh Chen, Chai-Ling Lai
