1. A pixel structure usable in a liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

  • (a) a scan line formed on a substrate;

    (b) a data line formed over the substrate;

    (c) a pixel area associated with the scan line and the data line;

    (d) a switch formed inside the pixel area on the substrate;

    (e) a shielding electrode formed over the switch;

    (f) a plane organic layer formed over the date line and the pixel area and having no overlapping with the shielding electrode;

    (g) a pixel electrode having a first portion and a second portion extending from the first portion, and formed over the shielding electrode and the plane organic layer in the pixel area, wherein the first portion is overlapped with the shielding electrode so as to define a storage capacitor therebetween, and the second portion overlays the plane organic layer and has no overlapping with the data line;

    (h) a first insulation layer formed between the scan line and the data line;

    (i) a second insulation layer formed between the data line and the shielding electrode; and

    (j) a third insulation layer formed between the shielding electrode and the pixel electrode,wherein the switch has a gate, a source and a drain electrically connected to the scan line, the data line and the pixel electrode, respectively.
