Abstract

The present disclosure provides a pixel structure, an OLED display screen, and an evaporation mask. The pixel structure includes a plurality of pixel unit groups arranged in an array. Each of the pixel unit groups includes a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel. An edge of the first sub-pixel close to the third sub-pixel is not parallel to an edge of the first sub-pixel away from the third sub-pixel. An edge of the second sub-pixel close to the third sub-pixel is not parallel to an edge of the second sub-pixel away from the third sub-pixel. At least two adjacent first sub-pixels and/or at least two adjacent second sub-pixels of at least two adjacent pixel unit groups are formed by a same mask opening in the evaporation mask.
