Abstract

A pixel unit includes a first pixel, a second pixel, a third pixel, a fourth pixel and a light-shielding structure. The first pixel has a plurality of first sub-pixels, the second pixel has a plurality of second sub-pixels, the third pixel has a plurality of third pixels, and the fourth pixel has a plurality of fourth sub-pixels. The first sub-pixel has a first electrode extending along a first tilting direction. The second sub-pixel has a second electrode extending along a second tilting direction. The third sub-pixel has a third electrode extending along a third tilting direction. The fourth sub-pixel has a fourth electrode extending along a fourth tilting direction. The first pixel, the second pixel, the third pixel and the fourth pixel surround the light-shielding structure collectively. The first tilting direction, the second tilting direction, the third tilting direction and the fourth tilting direction are different from each other.

Claims (11)

1. A pixel unit, disposed on a first substrate, the pixel unit comprising:

a first pixel, comprising a first red sub-pixel, a first green sub-pixel and a first blue sub-pixel, having a first active device and a first electrode respectively, the first electrode extending along a first tilting direction;

a second pixel, comprising a second red sub-pixel, a second green sub-pixel and a second blue sub-pixel, having a second active device and a second electrode respectively, the second electrode extending along a second tilting direction;

a third pixel, comprising a third red sub-pixel, a third green sub-pixel and a third blue sub-pixel, having a third active device and a third electrode respectively, the third electrode extending along a third tilting direction; and

a fourth pixel, comprising a fourth red sub-pixel, a fourth green sub-pixel and a fourth blue sub-pixel, having a fourth active device and a fourth electrode respectively, the fourth electrode extending along a fourth tilting direction,

wherein the first pixel and the second pixel are arranged along a first direction, the third pixel and the fourth pixel are arranged along the first direction, the first pixel and the third pixel are arranged along a second direction, and the second pixel and the fourth pixel are arranged along the second direction, the first tilting direction, the second tilting direction, the third tilting direction and the fourth tilting direction are different from each other, and shapes of the first blue sub-pixel, the second blue sub-pixel, the third blue sub-pixel and the fourth blue sub-pixel are respectively a trapezoid.

2. The pixel unit as recited in claim 1 , wherein two top angles and two bottom angles of the trapezoid are different from each other.

3. The pixel unit as recited in claim 1 , wherein shapes of the first red sub-pixel, the first green sub-pixel, the second red sub-pixel, the second green sub-pixel, the third red sub-pixel, the third green sub-pixel, the fourth red sub-pixel and the fourth green sub-pixel are respectively a parallelogram.

4. The pixel unit as recited in claim 1 , wherein two legs of the trapezoid of the first blue sub-pixel are respectively parallel to the first tiling direction and the second tiling direction, and the trapezoid of the first blue sub-pixel is normal trapezoidal, two legs of the trapezoid of the second blue sub-pixel are respectively parallel to the first tiling direction and the second tilting direction, and the trapezoid of the second blue sub-pixel is inverted trapezoidal.

5. The pixel unit as recited in claim 4 , wherein the first red sub-pixel, the first green sub-pixel and the first blue sub-pixel of the first pixel are sequentially arranged along the first direction, the second red sub-pixel, the second green sub-pixel and the second blue sub-pixel of the second pixel are sequentially arranged along the first direction.

6. The pixel unit as recited in claim 5 , wherein the first direction is served as a reference basis, the first pixel and the third pixel are arranged in mirror symmetry, and the second pixel and the fourth pixel are arranged in mirror symmetry.
