Abstract: A method of driving a display panel determines whether an image mode of an image signal is a 2D flat image mode or a 3D stereoscopic image mode.

During the 3D stereoscopic image mode, polarities of data voltages are reversed at a period of a plurality of frames, so that display quality of the 3D stereoscopic image may be enhanced.
