The invention discloses a
display device and a control method of the
display device, which relate to the technical field of 2D / 3D (2 Dimensional / 3 Dimensional) display. The device comprises a display panel and a
phase modulation panel, wherein the display panel is used for displaying a 2D image in a 2D display mode, displaying a
left eye image or a right eye image in a 3D display mode in the time of a first half frame of a frame and displaying the right eye image or the
left eye image in the time of a second half frame; the
phase modulation panel is arranged between the display panel and human eyes, and
linearly polarized light transmitted by the display panel in the 2D mode is emitted out in a way of maintaining the polarization direction; and in the 3D display mode, according to the attributes of the image displayed by the display panel, the
linearly polarized light transmitted by the display panel is subjected to
phase modulation, and modulated light is transmitted. According to the
display device, 2D / 3D display without reducing the vertical resolution and the
field frequency is carried out through the display panel adopting a pixel design with double grid lines and double
data lines by combining the phase modulation panel which can be driven according to the attributes of the displayed images.
