Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display apparatus allowing a display mode in which a different image can be displayed with respect to each of a plurality of display directions to be realized by bonding a liquid crystal panel and a parallax barrier, the liquid crystal panel being provided with display pixels including switching elements and pixel electrodes, the display pixels corresponding to intersections of a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of source lines, wherein: the parallax barrier separates display images viewed in different directions, respectively, by treating, as one unit, three display pixels including red (R), green (G), and blue (B) pixels provided in a direction in which a gate line is extended; one of the three display pixels is at one end in the direction in which the gate line is extended and is a first display pixel, and another display pixel that is adjacent to the first display pixel and belongs to a display image that is separated into a display direction different from that of the first display pixel is a second display pixel, a source line connected to the second display pixel is adjacent to the first display pixel, the first display pixel is a display pixel of the B color, and an applied voltage to be supplied to the display pixel of the B color and an input gradation are set to have a relationship along a γ curve, the applied voltage to be supplied to the display pixel of the B color producing a luminance having a lesser variation than luminances produced by applied voltages supplied to display pixels of R and G colors, respectively.
