Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) image display device includes data lines, gate lines crossing the data lines, sub-pixels arranged in areas between the data lines and the gate lines, a data driver that drives the data lines, a first gate driver that drives first gate lines from among the gate lines, a second gate driver that drives second gate lines from among the gate lines, and a timing controller that controls the data driver, the first gate driver, and the second gate drivers according to an image signal and a control signal. The second gate driver does not drive the second gate lines during a 3D display mode.

A three-dimensional (3D) image display device, comprising:
- a plurality of data lines;
- a plurality of gate lines crossing the data lines;
- a plurality of sub-pixels arranged between the data lines and the gate lines;
- a data driver configured to drive the data lines;
- a first gate driver configured to drive first gate lines of the gate lines;
- a second gate driver configured to drive second gate lines of the gate lines;
- and
- a timing controller configured to control the data driver, the first gate driver, and the second gate driver according to an image signal and a control signal,
- wherein the second gate driver is not driven during a 3D display mode.
A method of driving a three-dimensional (3D) image display device that comprises a plurality of sub-pixels arranged between a plurality data lines and a plurality of gate lines crossing the data lines, the method comprising:
- receiving an image signal, a control signal, and a mode signal;
- controlling a first gate driver according to the image signal and the control signal if the mode signal indicates a 3D display mode to drive first gate lines of the plurality of gate lines to be sequentially driven;
- and
- controlling a second gate driver if the mode signal indicates the 3D display mode to not drive second gate lines of the plurality of gate lines.
