A 3D display device is provided. The 3D display device includes a display panel and a liquid crystal lens panel. The display panel operates in one of a 2D mode for displaying a 2D image, a 3D mode for displaying a 3D image, and a coincident mode for displaying the 2D image and the 3D image. The liquid crystal lens panel is disposed on the display panel. The liquid crystal lens panel is configured to refract the 3D image through a third region of the liquid crystal lens panel and to transmit the 2D image without refracting the 2D image when the display panel operates in the coincident mode.

Three-dimensional (3D) display device

A display device includes a display panel including a display surface defined by first and second directional axes perpendicular to each other, a first polarizer disposed on the display panel and having a first optical axis parallel to the first directional axis, a liquid crystal lens including lower electrodes disposed on the first polarizer and extending in a third directional axis crossing the first directional axis, an upper electrode spaced apart from the lower electrodes, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the lower electrodes and the upper electrode and aligned between a lower alignment axis and an upper alignment axis, and a second polarizer disposed on the liquid crystal lens and having a second optical axis parallel to the first directional axis, where the lower alignment axis is defined between the first directional axis and the third directional axis on the display surface.
