a first substrate; wherein the first substrate comprises a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer stacked on the first electrode layer, each of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer comprises a plurality of strip-shaped electrodes with an identical width, and the strip-shaped electrodes in the first electrode layer and the strip-shaped electrodes in the second electrode layer are arranged alternately;
a second substrate oppositely arranged with respect to the first substrate;
a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a plurality of driving modules configured to drive the plurality of the strip-shaped electrodes to enable liquid crystals to be deflected to form light shading parts and light transmission parts; wherein a grating unit is defined by one light shading part and one adjacent light transmission part, a grating part is defined by at least one grating unit, the plurality of driving modules are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the grating parts; and
a control module configured to generate a plurality of driving signals in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of the driving modules according to a distance between the human eyes and the grating, thereby changing a width of the grating unit corresponding to a crosstalk position, and enabling each light transmission part in the grating part corresponding to the crosstalk position to move close to or away from a center of the grating,
