Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a display panel including a plurality of pixels to display an image; a polarizing plate disposed on the display panel; and a retarder disposed opposite to the display panel, wherein the polarizing plate is interposed between the retarder and the display panel, wherein the retarder includes first areas and second areas alternately arranged therein with respect to each row of adjacent pixels defining the plurality of pixels, and wherein a direction of a slow axis of the retarder having a first phase retardation in the first areas is different from a direction of a slow axis of the retarder in the second areas having a second phase retardation different from the first phase retardation, wherein the display panel displays the image on a frame-by-frame basis, a frame includes a first sub-frame and a second sub-frames, the pixels include first pixels corresponding to a part of the first areas, second pixels corresponding to a remaining part of the first areas, third pixels corresponding to a part of the second areas, fourth pixels corresponding to a remaining part of the second areas, wherein the display panel comprises: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein each of the pixels comprises: a gate line extending in a first direction; a data line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction; a switching device including a gate electrode branched from the gate line, a source electrode branched from the data line, and a drain electrode spaced apart from the source electrode; a pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode; and a common electrode which generates an electric field with the pixel electrode to represent a gray scale, wherein the liquid crystal layer includes a dielectric material.
