  • Publication number: 20180299733
    Abstract: A display substrate is disclosed, including pixel units defined by gate lines and data lines, and a first alignment layer. The first alignment layer includes first alignment grooves arranged in a first direction, the first direction forms a first intersection angle with a positive direction of a first side of each pixel unit, the first intersection angle is an obtuse angle, and the first intersection angle is smaller than an intersection angle between an orientation of liquid crystal molecule in a working state and the positive direction of the first side of each pixel unit. The direction of alignment grooves is decreased, so that the rotation angle of liquid crystal molecule is decreased, which reduces the responsive time of liquid crystal. A method for fabricating a display substrate, a display panel, and a display device are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180270475
    Abstract: A 3D display device and a method of driving the same are disclosed in the present disclosure. An electroluminescence display panel instead of a conventional backlight module is adopted to be arranged behind the liquid crystal display panel. In the 3D display mode, light emitting areas and black areas alternately arranged in both the row direction and the column direction are formed in the electroluminescent display panel, so that an abnormal grating structure is formed. In the 3D display mode, the first sub-pixels corresponding to the same light emitting area are controlled to display different gray level information so that the left and right eyes of a person located at two viewpoints receive an image of different gray level information. Therefore, stereoscopic vision is created and a naked-eye 3D display at the sub-pixel level is achieved.
