Claim Text:
1. A three-dimensional (3D) image display apparatus, comprising: a display panel configured to display an image, wherein the display panel comprises a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of pixels, each pixel being connected to a corresponding gate line of the gate lines and a corresponding data line of the data lines; a data driver configured to drive the data lines; a gate driver configured to drive the gate lines; a lens panel configured to refract light of the image displayed by the display panel; a lens driver configured to drive the lens panel; a lens controller configured to control the lens driver; and a timing controller configured to control the data driver, the gate driver, and the lens driver in response to an image signal and a control signal, wherein the lens controller and the timing controller are mounted on a same control board, wherein the timing controller is configured to operate in a two-dimensional mode, a first three-dimensional mode corresponding to an autostereoscopic three-dimensional display mode, and a second three-dimensional mode corresponding to a stereoscopic three-dimensional display mode, wherein the timing controller is configured to apply a mode control signal to the lens controller, wherein the mode control signal causes the lens panel to be driven during the first three-dimensional mode, and not to be driven during the two-dimensional mode and the second three-dimensional mode.
