| 20080259264 | Liquid crystal display device and driving method thereof - A liquid crystal display device includes pixels having a plurality of subpixels. The pixels include data displaying subpixels having a first pixel electrode receiving red, green, and blue data voltages to display an image, and a common electrode to which a common voltage is applied. The pixels further a viewing angle controlling subpixel driven in response to a voltage applied to the common electrode, a side electrode separated from the common electrode, and a second pixel electrode. Each of the subpixels includes a rib distorting an electric field applied to the corresponding liquid crystal layer. The viewing angle controlling subpixel delays a phase of the light from the data displaying subpixels when a voltage having a voltage difference from the common voltage is applied to the side electrode during a narrow viewing angle mode of the liquid crystal display device. | 10-23-2008 |
