A liquid crystal lens is provided on a liquid crystal display panel. Electrodes extending vertically to a plane of drawing are provided on an upper substrate of the liquid crystal lens at predetermined intervals. No electrodes are provided on a lower substrate. An initial alignment of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal lens is vertically directed with respect to the plane of the drawing. A voltage applied to the upper substrate electrodes generates a transverse electric field to rotate the liquid crystal molecules. Polarization light emitted from the liquid crystal display panel is vertically directed to the plane of the drawing, which generates a refractive index distribution of the polarization light in a liquid crystal layer to form a convex lens within the liquid crystal lens. This lens allows first and second pixels to be recognized by right and left eyes to allow a three-dimensional display.
