Abstract

A pixel structure, including a data line, a scan line, at least one active device, a first auxiliary electrode, and a light emitting device, is provided. The at least one active device is electrically connected with the data line and the scan line, and each active device includes a gate, a channel layer, a source, and a drain. The first auxiliary electrode is electrically insulated from the active device. The light emitting device is disposed above the first auxiliary electrode, wherein the light emitting device includes a first electrode layer, a light emitting layer, and a second electrode layer. The first electrode layer is electrically connected with the first auxiliary electrode. The light emitting layer is disposed on the first electrode layer. The second electrode layer is disposed on the light emitting layer, wherein the second electrode layer is electrically connected with the active device.

Claims (16)

1. A pixel structure, comprising:

a data line and a scan line;

at least one active device electrically connected with the data line and the scan line;

a light emitting device electrically connected with the active device, wherein the light emitting device comprises:

a first electrode layer;

a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode layer; and

a second electrode layer disposed on the light emitting layer, wherein the second electrode layer is electrically connected with the active device; and

an auxiliary electrode electrically insulated from the active device and disposed at a side of the light emitting device, wherein the auxiliary electrode is electrically connected with the first electrode layer of the light emitting device.

2. The pixel structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first insulating layer covering the active device, and the first electrode layer of the light emitting device being disposed on the first insulating layer;

a second insulating layer covering the first insulating layer and the first electrode layer of the light emitting device, and the second electrode layer of the light emitting device being disposed on the second insulating layer, wherein the second insulating layer has an opening and a first contact window opening that expose the first electrode layer, and the light emitting layer of the light emitting device is disposed in the opening and the auxiliary electrode is electrically connected with the first electrode layer via the first contact window opening.

3. The pixel structure according to claim 2 , wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer further comprise a second contact window opening that exposes a portion of the active device, and the second electrode layer of the light emitting device is electrically connected with the active device via the second contact window opening.

4. The pixel structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first isolating structure disposed around the second electrode layer of the light emitting device, wherein a first gap exists between the second electrode layer and the first isolating structure; and

a second isolating structure disposed at a side of the first isolating structure, wherein the auxiliary electrode is disposed between the first isolating structure and the second isolating structure, and the auxiliary electrode is electrically insulated from the first isolating structure and the auxiliary electrode is electrically insulated from the second isolating structure.

5. The pixel structure according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary electrode and the second electrode layer of the light emitting device belong to the same layer, and the auxiliary electrode is electrically insulated from the second electrode layer of the light emitting device.
