Abstrakt: A display device and a driving method for the same are disclosed. The display device includes a LCD panel and a backlight module disposed at a light incident side of the LCD panel; a surface of the backlight module facing the LCD panel is provided with a diffraction grating structure. Under 3D display mode, the light emitted by the backlight module is incident onto the LCD panel through the diffraction grating structure and formed into alternately bright and dark stripe patterns which are arranged laterally and extending lengthways, wherein every at least three bright stripe patterns arranged in sequence are considered as a group, and the bright stripe patterns in each group have colors different from each other. The display device not only reduces the entire thickness, but also improves the transmittance and reduces the power consumption, accordingly.
