1Measurement precision

If multiple pixel electrodes are coupled with data lines and scan lines to provide data signals according to image information, then display resolution is improved, but parasitic capacitances increase causing pixel-to-pixel crosstalk and voltage sharing

Solution Approach 1:

The pixel structure is divided into multiple independent conductive layers (first conducting layer, second conducting layer, third conducting layer) that are stacked vertically. Each layer serves a specific function: the first conducting layer is coupled to the active switch, the second conducting layer is coupled to the common line, and the third conducting layer forms the L-shaped conductive wire. This segmentation isolates the parasitic capacitances into separate layers, preventing them from causing horizontal crosstalk between adjacent pixels while maintaining high display resolution.
