The present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device and a driving method thereof. More particularly, the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide a stereoscopic image display device and a driving method thereof capable of displaying a two dimensional image or a stereoscopic image using an image separation panel wherein a refractive index is changed by the inflow or discharge of a fluid through the drive of a pumping unit. For this, the stereoscopic image display device according to the present invention comprises: an image panel which outputs an image; the image separation panel which is bonded to the front side of the image panel and expresses the image as a two dimensional image or a stereoscopic image by changing a refractive index through the inflow of a fluid to a charging space formed in an area wherein lenses are closed, or through the discharge of the fluid from the charging space; and a control unit which injects the fluid into the charging space or discharges the fluid from the charging space.
