Abstract:
1. A method of driving a liquid crystal display device including first, second, and third color displaying sub-pixels and first, second, and third viewing angle restricting sub-pixels, the first, second, and third color displaying sub-pixels corresponding one-to-one with the first, second, and third viewing angle restricting sub-pixels, the first, second, and third color displaying sub-pixels including first and second electrodes, and the first, second, and third viewing angle restricting sub-pixels include third and fourth electrodes, the method comprising: in a first viewing mode, applying first voltages to the first and second electrodes, respectively, in each of the first, second, and third color displaying sub-pixels and the same first voltages to the third and fourth electrodes, respectively, in each of the first, second, and third viewing angle restricting sub-pixels; and in a second viewing mode, applying second voltages to the first and second electrodes, respectively, in each of the first, second, and third color displaying sub-pixels and different third voltages to the third and fourth electrodes, respectively, in each of the first, second and third viewing angle restricting sub-pixels.
