A pixel array includes pixel sets. Each pixel set includes a first and second scan lines arranged in parallel on a substrate, a data line not parallel to the first and second scan lines, a first active device electrically connecting the first scan line and the data line, a second active device electrically connecting the second scan line and the data line, a first pixel electrode electrically connecting the first active device, a second pixel electrode electrically connecting the second active device, and an auxiliary electrode pattern that includes a connecting portion and a first and second branch portions. A gap is between the first and second pixel electrodes. The connecting portion underneath the gap between the first and second pixel electrodes partially overlaps the first and second pixel electrodes. The first and second branch portions connect the connecting portion and partially overlap the first and second pixel electrodes, respectively.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pixel array. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pixel array of a display panel.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the present invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a pixel array according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a pixel array according to another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a pixel array according to an embodiment of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1, the pixel array of this embodiment includes a plurality of pixel sets U. In FIG. 1, only one of the pixel sets U in the pixel array is depicted to elaborate the present invention. Generally, the pixel array is constituted by a plurality of pixel sets U, and each of the pixel sets U of this embodiment includes two pixel structures PU1 and PU2. People having ordinary skill in the art should be aware of the entire structure of the pixel array based on the following description of the pixel sets U.
Each of the pixel sets U includes a first scan line SL1, a second scan line SL2, a data line DL, a first active device T1, a second active device T2, a first pixel electrode P1, a second pixel electrode P2, and an auxiliary electrode pattern 102 that are all disposed on a substrate 10.
Here, the substrate 10 is used to carry the elements of the pixel set u, and the substrate 10 can be made of glass, quartz, organic polymer, a non-light-transmissive/reflective material (e.g., a conductive material, wafer, ceramics, or any other suitable material), or any other suitable material.
