  • Patent number: 7692622
    Abstract: An LCD apparatus with an LCD panel displaying a picture thereon, including a backlight array in which a plurality of light emitting devices illuminating the LCD panel with a plurality of colors is arranged to have a predetermined pattern. A backlight driver drives each light emitting device to emit light and to adjust light intensity; and a controller controls the backlight driver to adjust a white balance of a picture displayed on the LCD panel. With this configuration, an LCD apparatus is provided, in which a white balance is adjusted without making a loss in a representable brightness level, i.e., brightness, and lowering a contrast ratio. Also included is an LCD apparatus, in which a white balance is adjusted according to formats of an input video signal.

  • Patent number: 6188439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a broadcast signal receiving device and method thereof in which genre data of a broadcast signal is detected to thereby automatically be converted to an appropriate video and audio signal. According to the present invention a broadcast signal including genre data is processed for being converted into an appropriate signal according to a control signal previously stored in a memory thereby to provide a best condition for the video and audio. Furthermore, the televiewer can change data for the video and audio established to fit the genre data at the time of manufacturing the set, and can adjust the current program being broadcasted to a certain data.

  • Patent number: 6040874
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a peripheral unit connection status display device of a composite video instrument and methods thereof which is capable of displaying the connection status between peripheral units and a plurality of input and output lines provided to a television set when a user selects a mode for displaying the connection status. The peripheral unit connection status display device in a composite video instrument can include a system controller for outputting a control signal to operate peripheral units in response to a user selection of a mode for displaying the connection status of the peripheral unit and at the same time, for outputting a control signal to generate a character according to the determination results about what a peripheral unit is connected to a television system. A switching unit selects a signal among various signals from the peripheral units connected to the television system in response to the control signal from the system controller.

  • Patent number: 5929926
    Abstract: An automatic aspect ratio switching apparatus for automatically switching an aspect ratio is provided. The apparatus includes a satellite intermediate frequency processor which demodulates the broadcast signal from an intermediate frequency signal received from the satellite. A decoder detects aspect ratio support data which is included in the satellite broadcasting signal. Based on this detected aspect ratio support data, the deflection of the electron beam in the display of the television receiver is automatically caused to correspond to the aspect ratio of the broadcast signal. Accordingly, an aspect ratio can be automatically switched according to the aspect ratio support data inserted on the broadcasting signal sent by a broadcasting station without manual operation of a key.
