  • Patent number: 11086179
    Abstract: A display device includes a first scan line, a second scan line, a first data line, a first pixel unit, a second pixel unit, and a first connection line. The first pixel unit includes a first main-active device, a first sub-active device, a first main-pixel electrode, and a first sub-pixel electrode. The first main-active device is electrically connected with the first scan line and the first data line. The first sub-active device is electrically connected with the first scan line. The second pixel unit includes a second main-active device, a second sub-active device, a second main-pixel electrode, and a second sub-pixel electrode. The second main-active device and the second-sub active device are electrically connected with the second scan line. The first connection line is electrically connected with the first main-active device and the second sub-active device.

  • Patent number: 10670906
    Abstract: A display panel including a scan line, a first data line, a second data line, a first switching element, a second switching element, a first electrode, two second electrodes, a third electrode, a black matrix and a plurality of color filter layers is provided. The first switching element is electrically connected with the scan line and the first data line. The second switching element is electrically connected with the second data line. The first electrode includes at least two first openings. The two second electrodes are electrically connected with the first switching element and the second switching element respectively through the at least two first openings. The third electrode includes two first body portions, a second body portion and at least two branch portions. The black matrix includes a plurality of second openings. Two neighboring color filter layers are disposed corresponding to one of the second openings and form an overlapped structure.

  • Patent number: 10606139
    Abstract: A pixel structure includes a substrate, first and second gate lines, first and second data lines, and at least one pixel unit. The first and second gate lines and the first and second data lines are over the substrate and intersect with each other. The pixel unit is disposed on the substrate. The pixel unit includes first and second active devices, a common electrode, and first and second pixel electrodes. The first and second active devices are electrically connected to the first data line, and electrically connected to the first and second gate lines respectively. The common electrode is connected to a common potential source. The first and second pixel electrodes are over the common electrode and electrically connected to the first and second active devices respectively. At least one second branch electrode of the second pixel electrode shrinks from its one side to another side.
