Also, if a gap G exists between the first display panel 100 and the second display panel 200, depth may be formed between an image displayed on the first display panel 100 and an image displayed on the second display panel 200. The image displayed on the first display panel 100 and the image displayed on the second display panel 200 may be images different from each other, or may partially be overlapped with each other or not. Therefore, a user may feel depth between the image displayed on the first display panel 100 and the image displayed on the second display panel 200 in accordance with an interval between the first display panel 100 and the second display panel 200. That is, the user may feel a stereoscopic effect.
The first gate driver 310 supplies first gate signals to the first gate lines GA1 to GAn of the first display panel 100 in accordance with a first gate control signal GCS1 input from the timing controller 600, thereby selecting the first pixels PA to which first data voltages will be supplied.
The second gate driver 320 supplies second gate signals to the second gate lines GB1 to GBn of the second display panel 200 in accordance with a second gate control signal GCS2 input from the timing controller 600, thereby selecting the second pixels PB to which second data voltages will be supplied.
The first gate driver 310 may be formed on a non-display area of the first display panel 100 in a gate driver in panel (GIP) mode, and the second gate driver 320 may be formed on a non-display area of the second display panel 200 in a GIP mode. The non-display area indicates an area where an image is not displayed.
Alternatively, the first gate driver 300 may be fabricated of a driving chip, packaged in a gate flexible film and attached to the first display panel 100 in a tape automated bonding (TAB) mode. Also, the second gate driver 320 may be fabricated of a driving chip, packaged in a gate flexible film and attached to the second display panel 200 in a tape automated bonding (TAB) mode.
The first data driver 400 includes at least one or more first source drive integrated circuits (IC) 410. The first source drive ICs 410 receive first image data DATA1 and a first data control signal DCSA from the timing controller 600. The first image data DATA1 may include first source image data SD1 and first white image data WD1. The first source drive ICs 410 convert the first image data DATA1 to first data voltages in accordance with the first data control signal DCSA and supplies the first data voltages to the first data lines DA1 to DAm. The source drive IC 410 may be packaged in the first flexible film 710 in a chip on film (COF) or chip on plastic (COP) mode. The first flexible film 710 may be attached to the first display panel 100 by an anisotropic conducting film.
The timing controller 600 generates a first gate control signal GCS1 for controlling an operation timing of the first gate driver 310, a second gate control signal GCS2 for controlling an operation timing of the second gate driver 320, a first data control signal DCSA for controlling the first source drive ICs 410 of the first data driver 400, and a second data control signal DCSB for controlling the second source drive ICs 510 of the second data driver 500 in accordance with timing signals TS.

The backlight unit 800 is arranged on a rear surface of the second display panel 200, and includes light sources for emitting light. The backlight unit 800 may be implemented as a direct type or an edge type. If the backlight unit 800 is implemented as a direct type, the backlight unit 800 has a structure that a plurality of optical sheets and a diffusion plate are deposited below the second display panel 200 and the plurality of light sources are arranged below the diffusion plate. If the backlight unit 800 is implemented as an edge type, the backlight unit 800 has a structure that a plurality of optical sheets and a light guide plate are deposited below the second display panel 200 and the plurality of light sources are arranged at a side of the light guide plate.
A backlight driver receives backlight data from the timing controller 600, and generates a driving current for allowing the light sources to emit light in accordance with the backlight data and then supplies the generated driving current to the light sources. For this reason, the light sources of the backlight unit may emit light in accordance with the driving current.
As described above, the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the first and second display panels 100 and 200 having a predetermined interval, whereby depth may be formed between the first image displayed on the first display panel 100 and the second image displayed on the second display panel 200.

In more detail, the timing controller 600 supplies the first source image data SD1 to the first data driver 400 for the Nth and (N+2)th frame time periods, and supplies the first white image data WD1 to the first data driver 400 for the (N+1)th frame time period. In this case, the first data driver 400 may convert the first white image data WD1 to data voltages for the (N+1)th frame time period and supply the data voltages to the first display panel DIS1, thereby displaying the first white image.
The second display panel DIS2 displays a second white image in accordance with second white image data WD2 for the Nth and (N+2)th frame time periods, and displays a second source image in accordance with second source image data SD2 for the N+1 frame time period. The second white image may be defined as a transmissive image that transmits light entering the second display panel DIS1. Since the second display panel DIS2 transmits light incident from the backlight unit BLU without displaying the second source image for the Nth and (N+1)th frame time periods, the first source image of the first display panel DIS1 may be seen to a user as it is without being affected by the image of the second display panel DIS2.
In more detail, the timing controller 600 supplies the second white image data WD2 to the second data driver 500 for the Nth and (N+2)th frame time periods, and supplies the second source image data SD2 to the second data driver 500 for the (N+1)th frame time period. In this case, the second data driver 500 may convert the second white image data WD2 to data voltages for the Nth and (N+2)th frame time periods and supply the data voltages to the second display panel DIS2, thereby displaying the second white image.
The first source image SI1 and the second source image S12 may be images different from each other, or may partially be overlapped with each other or not. That is, the first source image data SI1 and the second source image data S12 may be data different from each other. Also, the first white image SD1 and the second white image SD2 may be images the same as each other. That is, the first white image data WD1 and the second white image data WD2 may be data the same as each other.
The light sources of the backlight unit BLU may emit light according to a predetermined duty ratio for each of the Nth and (N+2)th frame time periods. The duty ratio may be defined as expressed by the following Equation 1.
In the Equation 1, DR (%) denotes a duty ratio, and FL denotes a length of one frame time period, and LH denotes a lighting time period.

The first white image WI1 may be defined as a transmissive image that transmits light entering the first display panel DIS1, and the second white image WI2 may be defined as a transmissive image that transmits light entering the second display panel DIS2. As a result, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first source image SI1 of the first display panel DIS1 may be displayed without being affected by the second display panel DIS2, and the second source image SI2 of the second display panel DIS2 may be displayed without being affected by the first display panel DIS1.

Light of each of the lighting blocks LB1 to LB4 of the backlight unit BLU may be irradiated to each of the first display blocks DB11 to DB14 of the first display panel DIS1 and each of the second display blocks DB21 to DB24 of the second display panel DIS2. For example, light of the first lighting block LB1 of the backlight unit BLU may be irradiated to a 1-1th display block DB11 of the first display panel DIS1 and a 2-1th display block DB21 of the second display panel DIS2. Also, light of the second lighting block LB2 of the backlight unit BLU may be irradiated to a 1-2th display block DB12 of the first display panel DIS1 and a 2-2th display block DB22 of the second display panel DIS2.

The lighting blocks LB1 to LB4 of the backlight unit may emit light sequentially according to a predetermined duty ratio for each of the Nth and (N+2)th frame time periods. For example, the lighting blocks LB1 to LB4 of the backlight unit BLU may emit light sequentially from the first lighting block LB1 arranged at an upper portion to the fourth lighting block LB4 arranged at a lower portion.
That is, since each of the first display panel DIS1 and the second display panel DIS2 is supplied with image data from the upper portion to the lower portion, liquid crystal response curves at the upper portion, the center and the lower portion of each of the first display panel DIS1 and the second display panel DIS2 are different from one another. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the lighting blocks LB1 to LB4 of the backlight unit BLU may emit light sequentially from the first lighting block LB1 arranged at the upper portion to the lighting block LB4 arranged at the lower portion. As a result, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the light sources of the backlight unit BLU may emit light to correspond to saturated periods of the liquid crystal response curves at the upper portion, the center and the lower portion of each of the first display panel DIS1 and the second display panel DIS2. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user may definitely see a combined image of the first source image SI1 of the first display panel DIS1 and the second source image SI2 of the second display panel DIS2.

The second white image may be defined as a transmissive image that transmits light entering the second display panel DIS1. Since the second display panel DIS2 transmits light incident from the backlight unit BLU without displaying the second source image for the first and second sub-frame time periods SB1 and SB2 of each of Nth and (N+1)th frame time periods, the first source image of the first display panel DIS1 may be seen to a user as it is without being affected by the image of the second display panel DIS2.

The first white image WI1 may be defined as a transmissive image that transmits light entering the first display panel DIS1, and the second white image WI2 may be defined as a transmissive image that transmits light entering the second display panel DIS2. As a result, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first source image SI1 of the first display panel DIS1 may be displayed without being affected by the second display panel DIS2, and the second source image SI2 of the second display panel DIS2 may be displayed without being affected by the first display panel DIS1.
