  • Publication number: 20150279318
    Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. A display apparatus includes a display panel including a plurality of subpixels, the plurality of subpixels including red (R) subpixels, green (G) subpixels, and blue (B) subpixels, a panel driver configured to drive the display panel, and a controller configured to control the panel driver to, in one image frame section, sequentially turn on a first group of subpixels of the plurality of subpixels based on a predetermined group unit, and turn on a second group of subpixels of the plurality of subpixels which is in a location shifted by a predetermined subpixel unit with respect to the first group of subpixels. Accordingly, even though a LED display panel displays an image, decrease in resolution may be prevented. In addition, a bezel-less display apparatus may be realized using the LED display panel.

  • Publication number: 20140043165
    Abstract: An alarm unit includes an apparatus and a method of maximizing the efficiency of an alarm function that wakes up a sleeping user. An image input unit capable of photographing an eye image as a criterion for determining if the user has woken up is mounted on an alarm control apparatus. The image input unit mounted alarm control apparatus photographs a face image of the user, detects the eye region from the face image, and then determines a state of whether the user has woken up or not based on movement of the pupils in the eye region. If it is determined that the user keeps a waking state for a certain time, an alarm function is cancelled. By doing this, the alarm unit can help prevent the user from easily cancelling an alarm and maximize the efficiency of an alarm function that wakes up a sleeping user.
