Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A liquid crystal display includes a display panel, a processor, a timing control circuit, and a switch cell layer. The switch cell layer includes a liquid crystal layer, a first driving circuit, and a second driving circuit. The switch cell layer is installed on the display panel. When the display panel displays at least one two-dimensional region and at least one three-dimensional region according to an image signal, the processor determines positions of the at least one two-dimensional region and the at least one three-dimensional region on the display panel according to the image signal. The timing control circuit is for generating an address signal according to the positions. The first driving circuit and the second driving circuit drive first enable lines coupled to the first driving circuit in groups and second enable lines coupled to the second driving circuit in groups respectively according to the address signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) images, comprising: a display panel for receiving an image signal, and displaying at least one 2D region and at least one 3D region according to the image signal; a processor for determining positions of the at least one 2D region and the at least one 3D region on the display panel according to the image signal; a timing control circuit for generating an address signa…
