Abstract: A display apparatus including a communication port to communicate with an external source, an on screen display (OSD) generator to generate an OSD menu, and a display panel to display the OSD menu thereon, the display apparatus further including a pivot sensor to sense a pivoting angle of the display panel, and output data corresponding to the pivoting angle when the display panel is pivoted, and a controller to set an OSD displaying direction of the OSD generator according to the data about the pivoting angle from the pivot sensor, and transmit the data relating to the pivoting angle to the external source through the communication port.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display part; a storing part which stores first driving data for driving the display part; a data interface which receives second driving data from an external apparatus; and a controller which updates the first driving data with the second driving data after receiving an instruction to update the first driving data.

Abstract: An automatic coarseness setting method in a video display apparatus is provided. According to the automatic coarseness setting method, when an automatic adjustment command is input or when a new mode video signal is received to the video display apparatus, a pixel clock of an input video signal is detected, and a coarseness value is automatically set based on the detected pixel clock. Accordingly, it is possible to provide optimum video display using a coarseness value most suitable for the input video signal.

Abstract: A display apparatus having: a panel displaying a picture; a panel driver enabling the panel to display the picture; a scaler transferring an input image signal to the panel driver; a key input part generating a color change execution signal for the input image signal by manipulation of a user; and a controller modifying a voltage level value of the input image signal and transferring a modified input image signal to the scaler, if the input image signal transferred to the scaler is identical over a predetermined period of time, after receiving the color change execution signal from the key input part. As described, an embodiment of the present invention provides the display apparatus and the control method thereof providing the user with the information displayed on the screen and preventing screen modulation when identical display data are displayed on the screen over the predetermined period of the time.

Abstract: A display apparatus to display unit an image corresponding to an image signal provided from an external information processing apparatus, includes a nonvolatile memory having a first data area and a second data area to store data to adjust a display state of the displayed image and a program code area to store program codes, an image processing unit to process the image signal based on the data stored in one of the first data area and the second data area, and a micro control unit to control the image processing unit to process the image signal based on the data stored in the other of the first data area and the second data area when the data stored in the one of the first data area and the second data area are updated and when the update operation is abnormally ended.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a first communication port to receive a first video signal, a second communication port to receive a second video signal, a display unit, a first video signal processor including a first synchronous signal processor to check whether a first synchronous signal of the first video signal is inputted, a second video signal processor including a second synchronous signal processor to check whether a second synchronous signal of the second video signal is inputted, and a controller to disable the first and second video signal processors and to alternately enable the first and second synchronous signal processors according to a predetermined check time to check whether the first or second synchronous signal is inputted in a power saving mode.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display unit, a flash ROM that is provided in a microcomputer to drive the display unit and has a given color data area preset, and a color calibration unit to calibrate color in the display unit according to color data arrangement recorded on the color data area of the flash ROM.

Abstract: A display system includes a video signal output apparatus that includes a user input unit, a comparison authentication key storage unit to store a predetermined comparison authentication key, and a video signal controller to renew the comparison authentication key on the basis of a renewal signal when the renewal signal for the comparison authentication key is input through the user input unit, and a display apparatus that includes a display, a display interface to receive a video signal from the video signal output apparatus, a reference authentication key storage unit to store a predetermined reference authentication key, and a display controller to control a display state of a picture displayed on the display according to whether the comparison authentication key received from the video signal output apparatus is identical with the reference authentication key.

Abstract: A display apparatus comprises an interface to receive a signal from an external source, and operates either in a digital packet video link (DPVL) mode or in a raster video mode. The display apparatus decodes data of the signal input through the interface, determines whether the signal is a DPVL signal on the basis of the decoded data, and operates in the DPVL mode when the signal is determined as the DPVL signal or in the raster video mode when the signal is not determined as the DPVL signal. A display apparatus and a control method thereof determine whether input data is the DPVL signal on the basis of decoded results of the input data, thereby displaying a picture normally even based on an abnormal DPVL signal.
