Patent ID: 8786812

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal lens arranged on a liquid crystal display panel, wherein the liquid crystal display panel includes pixels each having a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel arranged in a first direction, which are provided in the first direction at first intervals, and further arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction at second intervals; the liquid crystal lens is formed by interposing a liquid crystal between a first substrate and a second substrate; the first substrate includes a plurality of first electrodes in stripes, extending in the first direction, and arranged in the second direction each at an interval twice as large as the second interval, each of the plurality of first electrodes in stripes having a same width; the second substrate includes a plurality of second electrodes in stripes and a plurality of third electrodes in stripes, extending in the second direction, and arranged in the first direction at predetermined intervals, having the plurality of second electrodes arranged in the first direction at the interval at least twice as large as the first interval, each of the plurality of third electrodes in stripes having a width greater than a width of each of the plurality of second electrodes in stripes; an initial alignment of liquid crystal molecules between the first and second substrates is in the second direction; and different voltages are allowed to be applied to the plurality of first, second and third electrodes.
