  • Patent number: 11527186
    Abstract: An image display system includes: a display device; an image supply device coupled to the display device in such a way as to be able to bidirectionally communicate and supplying an image signal; and an operation terminal having a plurality of operation buttons. The operation terminal transmits an operation signal in response to an operation on the operation button. The display device displays a first image supplied from the image supply device and a second image generated by the display device. On receiving the operation signal, the display device decides a degree of priority of the first image and the second image. The display device transmits a signal to stop updating the first image to the image supply device and executes processing based on the second image when the degree of priority of the second image is higher than the degree of priority of the first image.
