Display device
To provide a plural-viewpoint display device having an image separating optical element such as a lenticular lens or a parallax barrier, which is capable of arranging thin film transistors and wirings while achieving substantially trapezoid apertures and high numerical aperture, and to provide a driving method thereof, a terminal device, and a display panel. A neighboring pixel pair arranged with a gate line interposed therebetween is connected to the gate line placed between the pixels, each of the pixels configuring the neighboring pixel pair is connected to the data line different from each other, and each of the neighboring pixel pairs neighboring to each other in an extending direction of the gate lines is connected to the gate line different from each other.
1. A display panel, comprising:
data lines for supplying display data to respective pixels;
pixel switches for transmitting display data signals from the data lines to the pixels;
gate lines for controlling the pixel switches, wherein
a neighboring pixel pair arranged with the gate line interposed therebetween is controlled by the gate line that is provided between those pixels, each of the pixels configuring the neighboring pixel pair is connected to the data line different from each other, and each of the neighboring pixel pairs neighboring to each other in an extending direction of the gate lines is connected to the gate line different from each other, wherein
the disposed two or more pixel switches, which are controlled by a common gate line, are disposed between one of the pixels and the data line corresponding to the one of the pixels, wherein,
the two or more pixel switches are connected in such a manner that, when all the pixel switches are turned on, a signal is transmitted from the data line corresponding to the one of the pixels.
2. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pixel switches are thin film transistors.
3. The display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two or more pixel switches disposed between the one of the pixels and the corresponding data line are thin film transistors, wherein
at least two of the two or more thin film transistors are disposed in such a manner that a source electrode and a drain electrode of the thin film transistor are connected with the gate line interposed therebetween.
