For example, the camera part 100 takes a picture of a user positioned in front of the image display part 1000 at a predetermined distance and a predetermined angle, generates a user image signal m1 including the user's position information, and applies the user image signal m1 to the image display part 1000. According to an embodiment, the camera part 100 includes a real time motion picture camera, and the user image signal m1 includes a real time motion picture signal. The camera part 100 has a preset upper and lower view angle and a preset left and right view angle.

As shown in FIG. 1, the camera part 100 is embedded in the image display part 1000. According to an embodiment, the camera part 100 takes the picture of the user through an opening OP formed on a front portion of the image display part 1000. However, the camera part 100 is limited as being positioned in the image display part 1000. Alternatively, the camera part 100 is separated from the image display part 1000 and attached to an external side portion of the image display part 1000.

The image display part 1000 includes a display area DA and a non-display area NA disposed adjacent to at least a portion of the display area DA. The opening OP is positioned at the non-display area NA and exposes the camera part 100.

The timing controller 300 receives image data Data and control signals cont from an outside source of the image display part 1000. The control signals include a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, a main clock signal, and a data enable signal.

The timing controller 300 converts a data format of the image data Data to a data format suited for an interface between the data driver 500 and the timing controller 300 and applies the converted image data Data1 to the data driver 500. The timing controller 300 applies a data control signal cont1, such as an output start signal, a horizontal start signal, a horizontal dock signal, or a polarity inversion signal, to the data driver 500 and applies a gate control signal cont2, such as a vertical start signal, a vertical dock signal, or a vertical clock bar signal, to the gate driver 400.

The gate driver 400 is electrically connected to the gate lines G1 to Gk disposed on the display panel 200 and applies the gate signal to the gate lines G1 to Gk. For example, the gate driver 400 generates the gate signal to drive the gate lines G1 to Gk in response to the gate control signal cont2 from the timing controller 300 and sequentially applies the gate signal to the gate lines G1 to Gk.

The data driver 500 selects some of a plurality of gamma voltages GMM1 to GMMi, which correspond to the converted image data data1 in response to the data control signal cont1 provided from the timing controller 300 and generates data voltages, and applies the generated data voltages to the data lines D1 to DM.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the user analyzer 600 shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user analyzer 600 includes a facial recognizer 610 and a viewing direction calculator 630.

The facial recognizer 610 extracts positions of a user's eyes, nose, and mouth based on the user image signal m1 and recognizes the user's facial features. According to an embodiment, when the facial recognizer 610 does not recognize the user's facial features, the image display part 1000 operates in a power saving mode after a predetermined time.

The viewing direction calculator 630 calculates the user's viewing direction based on the positions of the eyes, nose, and mouth. For example, the viewing direction calculator 630 calculates the viewing direction based on a center point of the user's two eyes and the upper and lower view angle and the left and right view angle of the camera part 100. According to an embodiment, the viewing direction calculator 630 calculates the user's upper and lower view angle and left and right view angle.

FIG. 4 is a view for describing a process of calculating a user's viewing direction.

For convenience of description, FIG. 4 shows the user that looks down the image display part 1000 from a front upper side of the image display part 1000. However, according to an embodiment, the process of calculating the viewing direction applies to an example where the user views the image display part 1000 from lower, left, and right sides of the image display part 1000. For purposes of description, the user image signal m1 is represented as a user image img.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the camera part 100 has a preset upper and lower view angle θ1. The viewing direction calculator 630 determines that the user looks down the image display part 1000 when the user's face is positioned over a reference position rr in the user image img. According to an embodiment, the reference position rr is predetermined in the user image img, and as an example, the reference position rr is positioned at a center point of the user image img in FIG. 4. The viewing direction calculator 630 calculates the center point cc between the two eyes in the face fc and calculates a view angle θ2 based on the center point cc and the upper and lower view angle θ1. For instance, when the upper and lower view angle θ1 is about 45 degrees and when the center point cc is determined to be positioned at an upper central portion in the user image img, the view angle θ2 is about +22.5 degrees. Similarly, the view angle θ2 is about −22.5 degrees when it is determined that the center point cc is positioned at a lower central portion of the user image img. The viewing direction calculator 630 stores a plurality of view angles corresponding to positions of the center point cc.

FIG. 5A is a graph showing gamma curves according to view angles, and FIG. 5B is a graph showing gamma curves obtained by compensating for the gamma curves shown in FIG. 5A.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5A, there are differences between the gamma curves obtained when the user views the image display part 1000 from front, upper, and lower sides of the image display part 1000. For example, the brightness perceived by the user is relatively higher when the user looks down the image display part 1000 than when the user views the image display part 1000 from the front side of the image display part 1000. The brightness perceived by the user is relatively lower when the user looks up the image display part 1000 than when the user views the image display part 1000 from the front side of the image display part 1000.

The correction gamma values that correct the gamma curves in accordance with the user's view angles are shown in Table 1:

TABLE 1 View angle −20 deg. −10 deg. 0 deg. 10 deg. 20 deg. Correction 1.2 1.7 2.2 2.6 3 gamma value

Referring to Table 1, when the user looks up the image display part 1000 and the view angle is about 20 degrees, the gamma corrector 700 selects the correction gamma value of about 1.2. Similarly, when the user looks down the image display part 1000 and the view angle is about 20 degrees, the gamma corrector 700 selects the correction gamma value of about 3.

When the correction gamma values are applied, the gamma curves are substantially the same regardless of the view angles as shown in FIG. 5B.

The image display system may provide the image having optimized gamma curve to the user in real time even without a separate input from the user.

The light source controller 900 controls the light source 910, The light source controller 900 receives the user position signal m2 from the user analyzer 600 and controls the brightness of the light source 910 based on the viewing direction. For instance, the light source controller 900 controls the light source 910 so that the brightness of the light source 910 decreases when the user looks down the image display part 1000 since the brightness perceived by the user is relatively higher when the user looks down the image display part 1000 than when the user views the image display part 1000 from the front of the image display part 1000. The light source controller 900 controls the light source 910 so that the brightness of the light source 910 increases when the user looks up the image display part 1000 since the brightness perceived by the user is relatively lower when the user looks up the image display part 1000 than when the user views the image display part 1000 from the front of the image display part 1000.
