Stereoscopic image display and driving method thereof

A driving method of a stereoscopic image display device having a display panel provided with data lines and gate lines which intersect each other, and pixels arranged in a matrix;

• a patterned retarder including first retarders transmitting a first polarization light from odd numbered display lines of the display panel and second retarders transmitting a second polarization light from even numbered display lines;
• and polarization glasses including a first polarization filter transmitting the first polarization light from the first retarders and a second polarization filter transmitting the second polarization light from the second retarders, the driving method comprising:
• displaying left eye image data input during an N-th (where N is a positive integer) frame period in the odd numbered display lines of the display panel during the N-th frame period, and displaying right eye compensation image data generated based on the data input during a (N−1)-th frame period in the even numbered display lines of the display panel during the N-th frame period;
• and
• displaying left eye compensation image data generated based on the data input during the N-th frame period in the odd numbered display lines of the display panel during a (N+1)-th frame period and displaying right eye image data input during the (N+1)-th frame period in the even numbered display lines of the display panel during the (N+1)-th frame period.
