Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel which include a plurality of areas; a communication unit which receive information about brightness sensed by a pointing device; a backlight unit which includes a plurality of light sources; and a controller which controls the backlight unit to change the brightness of the plural areas by a predetermined unit, and determines a pointing position of the pointing device on the basis of relative variation in the information about the brightness. With this, it is possible to detect a pointing position of a pointing device in a display apparatus having a hold-type display panel.

Abstract: A method for generating a signal to display a three-dimensional (3D) image, and an image display apparatus using the same are disclosed. The method includes receiving a first synchronization signal, generating a second synchronization signal, and generating an output signal. Therefore, a user may satisfactorily view a 3D image regardless of whether the synchronization signal received from a display device reports errors or whether there is an obstruction between the display device and shutter glasses.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display panel having a light emitting device, a sensor which senses an electric current flowing in the light emitting device, and a controller which determines that an external stimulus occurs to the display panel if a change of a sensed current exceeds a preset current change rate, and performs a predetermined operation on the basis of a determination result.

Abstract: An LED-based optical system and a method of compensating for aging thereof are provided. The LED-based optical system includes LED blocks composed of a predetermined number of LEDs; a sensor which senses output values of the respective LED blocks; and a control block which generates compensation rates by comparing initial output values of the respective LED blocks in an initial state with comparison output values of the LED blocks sensed by the sensor at a comparison time point, and controls current being supplied to the respective LED blocks in accordance with the compensation rates.
