The 600Hz sub-field drive refers to how often the pixels are "pulsed" (turned on and off in a second). If the display is working at 60Hz -- showing you 60 frames in a second -- each pixel will be turned on and off 10 times for each frame you are shown.
The 2-digit numbers (60Hz, 72Hz, 96Hz, etc) refer to the number of frames (individual pictures, though some of those pictures will be the same ones shown multiple times) the display shows you in a second.
Have you ever used anti-lock brakes on a car? If you've "pushed" them into working, you may have felt the pulsations (the anti-lock mechanism pulses many times a second) as the car slows down. This is analogous to the sub-field drive on a display.
