1. A display device comprising:
- a plurality of first and second pixels;
a barrier for forming a transparent region and a non-transparent region for transmitting images of the plurality of first and second pixels in a first mode and for causing an image of the plurality of first pixels and an image of the plurality of second pixels to be observed at different points; and
a controller for determining one of the first mode and the second mode according to a video signal and generating image data by gamma-correcting the video signal according to the determined mode,wherein the controller sets up a first luminance of image data generated by gamma-correcting the video signal of a maximum grayscale in the first mode to be different from a second luminance of image data generated by gamma-correcting the video signal in the second mode.

Abstract
A display device and a driving method thereof in which if an input 2D/3D video signal is a 2D video signal, an image data signal is generated by applying a first gamma correction curved line. If the input 2D/3D video signal is a 3D video signal, an image data signal is generated by applying the second gamma correction curved line. Luminance of a maximum grayscale of the first gamma correction curved line is set to be lower than luminance of a maximum grayscale of the second gamma correction curved line. Therefore, it is possible to prevent luminance of the display device from deteriorating by a barrier in a 3D driving mode.

10. A method for driving a display device including a display unit having a plurality of first and second pixels and a barrier for selectively forming a transparent region and a non-transparent region for transmitting or not transmitting images displayed on the display unit, comprising:
-
determining one of a first mode and a second mode according to an input video signal; generating first image data by forming the barrier as a transparent region and gamma-correcting the video signal when the first mode is determined; and generating second image data by forming the barrier as a transparent region and a non-transparent region to cause an image of the plurality of first pixels and an image of the plurality of second pixels to be observed from different points and gamma-correcting the video signal when the second mode is determined, wherein a first luminance of a maximum grayscale of the first image data is different from a second luminance of a maximum grayscale of the second image data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for driving a display device, comprising the steps of:
-
generating a first image data signal by applying a first gamma correction curved line when a 2-dimensional video signal is input; generating a second image data signal by applying a second gamma correction curved line when a 3-dimensional video signal is input; and maintaining a luminance level of said second image data signal to equal of that of said first image data signal, wherein a luminance level of a maximum grayscale of the first gamma correction curved line is set lower than a luminance level of a maximum grayscale of the second gamma correction curved line.
