Patent 7834354 was granted and assigned to AU Optronics on November, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A pixel structure of a fringe field switching liquid crystal display (FFS-LCD) and a method for manufacturing the pixel structure are provided. Compared to the conventional method of using seven photolithography-etching processes for manufacturing a pixel structure, the method of the present invention uses only six photolithography-etching processes that save manufacturing costs and time. Furthermore, the pixel structure thereby only comprises two insulating layers, and thus, the light transmittance thereof can be increased in comparison to the conventional pixel structure comprising three insulating layers.
