  • Publication number: 20120099024
    Abstract: A multifunctional display apparatus is provided by including a tuner, a network interface, a display, a power supply, a wireless input interface, a storage device, and a controller. The controller may determine whether software stored in the storage device is to be updated. The controller may provide the display apparatus in an update mode in response to the display apparatus receiving a turn-off request and the controller determines that the software is to be updated. In the update mode, the display apparatus receives updated software and power to the display is OFF, and the controller provides the display apparatus in a turn-off mode after completing the update mode. In the turn-off mode, power to additional components of the display apparatus is OFF.
