Display device and driving method thereof

A display device, comprising:

• a display panel comprising a plurality of micro-LED pixel units arranged in an array;
• and
• a light-controlling component on a light exiting side of the plurality of micro-LED pixel units of the display panel, the light-controlling component comprising a plurality of light-controlling regions, ones of the light-controlling regions comprising at least four sub-regions individually controllable to switch between a transmissive state and a non-transmissive state,
• wherein the light-controlling component comprises:
• a first substrate;
• a second substrate opposite to the first substrate;
• an electrically controllable optical medium layer between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a first electrode layer on a side of the first substrate facing the second substrate;
• and
• a second electrode layer on a side of the second substrate facing the first substrate,
• wherein at least one of the first electrode layer or the second electrode layer comprises a plurality of electrodes within each sub-region of the at least four sub-regions, wherein the electrodes within each sub-region are individually controllable,
• wherein respective orthographic projections of the ones of the light-controlling regions on the display panel cover respective ones of the micro-LED pixel units and surrounding regions of the respective ones of the micro-LED pixel units, and the light-controlling regions do not overlap each other,
• wherein the electrically controllable optical medium layer comprises ferroelectric liquid crystal material.
