Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a display panel disposed between a first polarizer and a second polarizer, a first light-transmission axis direction of the first polarizer being substantially perpendicular to a second light-transmission axis direction of the second polarizer, the first light-transmission axis direction intersecting a horizontal axis direction by approximately 45 degrees, the display panel having at least one first area and at least one second area, the at least one first area and the at least one second area respectively having a plurality of pixel units arranged in arrays, a row direction of the pixel units being parallel to the horizontal axis direction, each of the pixel units having: a first sub-pixel area comprising a first alignment area and a second alignment area, a first alignment direction of the first alignment area being substantially perpendicular to the horizontal axis direction, a second alignment direction of the second alignment area intersecting the first light-transmission axis direction by about 0 degree to about 45 degrees, the second alignment direction being not perpendicular to the horizontal axis direction; and a second sub-pixel area comprising a third alignment area and a fourth alignment area, a third alignment direction of the third alignment area being substantially perpendicular to the horizontal axis direction, the third alignment direction being opposite to the first alignment direction, a fourth alignment direction of the fourth alignment area intersecting the second light-transmission axis direction by about 0 degree to about 45 degrees, the fourth alignment direction being not perpendicular to the horizontal axis direction, wherein when the display panel is in a narrow viewing angle display mode, a driving voltage at the second sub-pixel areas in the at least one first area is substantially higher than a driving voltage at the first sub-pixel areas in the at least one first area, and a driving voltage at the first sub-pixel areas in the at least one second area is substantially higher than a driving voltage at the second sub-pixel areas in the at least one second area.
