1. Field
Apparatuses and methods consistent with exemplary embodiments relate to a display apparatus and a method for driving the display apparatus, and more particularly, to a display apparatus of which backlight is operated as being divided into an upper part and a lower part and a method for driving the display apparatus.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus may display a three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image as a 120 Hz image. In addition, an LCD apparatus may add a blank image (B) between a left eye image (L) and a right eye image (R) (that is, display an image frame in the order of LBRB) to prevent cross talk effect of the left eye image and the right eye image of the 3D image.
A backlight of an LCD display apparatus operates as being divided into an upper part and a lower part, and the time when the upper part and the lower part are turned on is different from each other. If the upper part of a backlight is turned on while the lower part of the backlight is turned off or vice versa, brightness in a vertical direction of a screen of the LCD apparatus becomes out of balance.
A user desires to watch an even and high quality image. Therefore, a method for improving balance in a vertical brightness of an LCD apparatus is required.
