A stereoscopic image display apparatus is described. The stereoscopic image display apparatus includes a display panel, a film-type patterned retarder (FPR) and a barrier layer. The display panel comprises a plurality of scan lines, first data lines, second data lines and pixel units. Each of pixel units comprises a major pixel, a first minor pixel and a second minor pixel wherein the major pixel is coupled to one of the scan lines and one of the first data lines via a first thin-film-transistor, and the first minor pixel and the second minor pixel are coupled to the one of the scan lines and one of the second data lines via a second thin-film-transistor. The FPR is disposed between the display panel and the polarized glasses for receiving the light from the display panel to allow the light to form left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light.
