Claim Text:
1. A method of displaying a three-dimensional (“3D”) image comprising: displaying a left-eye image and a right-eye image on a display panel, the display panel including a first sub pixel, a second sub pixel, a third sub pixel and a fourth sub pixel sequentially arranged in a row direction; and driving an active barrier panel to form an opening part configured to transmit light and a barrier part configured to block light, the active barrier panel including a first barrier electrode, a second barrier electrode, a third barrier electrode and a fourth barrier electrode, wherein the first and third barrier electrodes each have a first width, and the second and fourth barrier electrodes each have a second width different from the first width, and wherein the first and second barrier electrodes are disposed in an area corresponding to the first and second sub pixels, and the third barrier electrode and the fourth barrier electrode are disposed in an area corresponding to the third and fourth sub pixels, wherein the first barrier electrode overlaps about a half of a first surface of the first sub pixel, the second barrier electrode overlaps a part of the first surface of the first sub pixel and all of a first surface of the second sub pixel, the third barrier electrode overlaps about a half of a first surface of the third sub pixel, the fourth barrier electrode overlaps a part of the first surface of the third sub pixel and all of a first surface of the fourth sub pixel, each of the first, second and third sub pixels has a different color from each other, the fourth sub pixel has a same color as one of the first, second and third sub pixels, and the first and second barrier electrodes or the second and third barrier electrodes are included in the opening part according to a position of an observer, wherein when the observer is at a left outer side or a right outer side of the display panel, the display panel is divided into a first block adjacent to the left outer or right outer side and at least one block adjacent to the first block, first to fourth sub pixels in the first block display the left-eye and right-eye images in a first order, first to fourth sub pixels of the at least one block display the left-eye and right-eye images in a second order different from the first order, first to fourth barrier electrodes in the first block are driven into the opening part and the barrier part based on the left-eye and right-eye images displayed on the first block, and first to fourth barrier electrodes in the at least one block are driven into the opening part and the barrier part based on the left-eye and right-eye images displayed on the at least one block.
