[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the width L2 of the second channel region 232 is smaller than the width L1 of the first channel region 231. This may effectively reduce the stray capacitance in the pixel structure.

Therefore, the pixel structure of this embodiment in accordance with the present disclosure is applicable to high PPI technology which has low pixel storage capacitance. It can effectively improve the charging capacity of a high-PPI display screen, and in turn, may improve the overall performance of the display.

[0063] In positive frame voltage simulation of the pixel structure, the design objective is to reduce a feed-through voltage as far as possible, that is, to make the voltage value after the feed-through voltage loss close to a standard voltage value 5V.
[0064] It can be seen from the results, when in the pixel structure, the branch structure of the scan line has a different width of the scan line, it may influence the positive frame charge capacity of the entire pixel. The wider of the branch structure of the scan line, the weaker the charge capability of the entire pixel structure will be, and it means that the resulted voltage after the pixel structure is charged is more deviated from 5V. In the present embodiment, the result of positive frame voltage simulation of such pixel structure, according to the embodiment in which the width of the scan line is larger than the width of branch structure of the scan line (that is, the embodiment in which the width of the first channel region is larger than the width of the second channel region), it can effectively lower the feed-through voltage and it can enhance the charge capability of the device.

[0069] In negative frame voltage simulation of the pixel structure, the design objective is to reduce a feed-through voltage, that is, to make the voltage value after the feed-through voltage loss close to a standard voltage value −5V.
[0070] It can be seen from the results, when in the pixel structure, the branch structure of the scan line has a different width of the scan line. It may influence the negative frame charge capacity of the entire pixel. The wider of the branch structure of the scan line, the weaker the charge capability of the entire pixel structure will be, and it means that the resulted voltage after the pixel structure is charged is more deviated from −5V. In the present embodiment, the result of negative frame voltage simulation of such pixel structure, according to the embodiment in which the width of the scan line is larger than the width of branch structure of the scan line (that is, the embodiment in which the width of the first channel region is larger than the width of the second channel region), it can effectively lower the feed-through voltage and it can enhance the charge capability of the device.
[0071] From the above detailed description the pixel structure according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may have one or more of the following advantages.
[0072] According to various embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure, the feed-through voltage may be lowered without increasing gate delay. Moreover, the charge capacity of the device may be enhanced, and it may improve the display performance of the display screen.
[0073] The exemplary embodiments described in the present disclosure have been illustrated and described in detail as above. It should be understood that, the present disclosure is not limited to the detailed structure, the configuration and implementation described herein. Instead, the present disclosure intends to cover various modifications and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
