A number of the plurality of bus lines is less than a sum of the number of the first linear electrodes and the number of the second linear electrodes. | 2015-08-06 |
20150219910 | DISPLAY DEVICE AND DRIVING METHOD OF THE SAME - A display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a display panel configured to display an image; and a liquid crystal lens panel operated in one of a 2D mode or a 3D mode for the image of the display panel to be recognized as a 2D image or a 3D image. The liquid crystal lens panel includes a lower substrate and an upper substrate facing each other, a lower lens electrode formed on a lower substrate, an upper lens electrode formed on the upper substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the lower substrate and the upper substrate. When the liquid crystal lens panel is converted from the 2D mode to the 3D mode, the voltage applied to the upper lens electrode of the liquid crystal lens is applied while being increased in stages. | 2015-08-06 |
