A display device includes a data line, a first and second pixel rows and a first and second gate control lines all formed on a substrate. The first pixel row includes a plurality of pixels each containing two neighboring first sub-pixel and second sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel is coupled to the data line, the second sub-pixel is coupled to the data line through the first sub-pixel. The second pixel row is neighboring with the first pixel row and includes a plurality of pixels each containing two neighboring third sub-pixel and fourth sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel is coupled to the data line, the fourth sub-pixel is coupled to the data line through the third sub-pixel. The first and second gate control lines respectively are for enabling the first and second sub-pixels and both are not used to enable the third and fourth sub-pixels. A driving method of gate control lines also is provided.
