Abstract
A display device with switchable viewing angle includes a first pixel and a second pixel. The first pixel has a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel. The second pixel has a third sub-pixel, a fourth sub-pixel and a fifth sub-pixel. The fifth sub-pixel is configured to be enabled when operating in a narrow viewing angle mode and to be disabled when operating in a wide viewing angle mode. When the fifth sub-pixel is enabled, each viewing angle of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel is narrower than that when the fifth sub-pixel is disabled.
