Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A pixel structure according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a plurality of sub-pixel units driven by a same gate line and a same data line. Each of the sub-pixel units may consist of two or more sub-pixels, and be divided into N display regions. In a power-on state, an N-domain display may be implemented by the sub-pixel unit due to different electric fields generated by different display regions respectively. Technical solutions of the present disclosure can improve chromatic aberration phenomenon of a LCD device with transmittance of the LCD device being guaranteed.
