Abstract

A liquid crystal grating module ( 3 ) and a two dimension-three dimension switchable liquid crystal display device using the same. The liquid crystal grating module ( 3 ) comprises a first transparent electrode layer ( 20 ) and a second transparent electrode layer ( 50 ). The first transparent electrode layer ( 20 ) and the second transparent electrode layer ( 50 ) are provided with interval. The first transparent electrode layer ( 20 ) comprises a plurality of lateral electrode bars ( 202,204 ). The second transparent electrode layer ( 50 ) comprises a plurality of vertical electrode bars ( 502,504 ). The lateral electrode bars ( 202,204 ) and the vertical electrode bars ( 502,504 ) are alternately superposed on each other with interval to form a grating structure. The vertical electrode bars ( 502,504 ) have three different widths in the direction vertical to the liquid crystal display pixels.
