BACKGROUND Field of InventionThe present application relates to a display device and a display method. More particularly, the present application relates to a display device and a display method for displaying the on screen display (OSD).
Description of Related ArtWith the advancement of technology, the user interfaces of various devices also tend to be more user-friendly. For example, with the development of technology, the screen size of the desktop display devices is getting larger and larger. Because the size of desktop display device is larger than that of general human-machine interface display devices, the on screen display (OSD) that controls the functions of the display device is usually not displayed on the full screen. Usually, the on screen display is displayed with a scaling ratio only less than 1/6 or 1/8 of the screen size. Generally, the position of the on screen display will be fixed at the center or lower right corner of the display panel. However, users must turn their necks and eyeballs to focus on the on screen display in order to perform subsequent operations on the monitor, which is inconvenient in operation.
