Also, the curvature that determines the degree of bending of the side portions located on both sides of the body portion can be both symmetrical and asymmetrical.

In addition, when the body portion and the side portion can be operated by a touch method, the side portions curved on both sides of the body portion are also bent in a state where a touch function is possible. The side portion may be bent at a curvature having a radius of 100mm to 150mm, and of course, the curvature radius may be adjusted as necessary.

As shown in FIG. 2, the edge type liquid crystal panel according to an embodiment is used by etching the LCD glass. At this time, the etching thickness of the LCD glass may be thinner than before to form a side portion. In the edge type liquid crystal panel made of glass, the portion where the side portion is positioned is etched to make the thickness thinner than the body portion, so that the side portion is not damaged when the side portion is bent. In the etching process for making the side portion, the entire edge type liquid crystal panel may be etched entirely, or only both sides of the edge type liquid crystal panel where the side portion is located may be etched.

The body portion, which is the middle-sided flag portion, is not separately etched, but only the side portions located on both sides of the body portion can be etched and bent.

As shown in FIG. 10, the edge type liquid crystal panel control device according to the present embodiment includes a mode setting unit 110, a selected image output unit 120, an edge detection image adjustment unit 130, and a control unit 140, It includes a game information receiving unit 150, a user detection unit 160, and an edge content storage unit 170.

The mode setting unit 110 is an edge setting mode (i.e., a mode for setting the edge area) or an active mode (i.e., a mode other than the edge setting mode, for example, game mode, standby mode, advertisement and promotion mode, TV Mode, etc.).

The selected image output unit 120 selectively outputs an image corresponding to a mode set by the mode setting unit 110 (for example, an edge detection image, an active image (for example, advertisement, game information, etc.)). .

Here, the image for edge detection is an image that is output so that a user can set an edge region, and may be, for example, a square image filled with a single color. This is for the purpose of using one liquid crystal panel by software division into a body region and an edge region. In addition, the active image is an image output through a body portion or an edge portion in a mode other than the edge setting mode (ie, an active mode), and includes a game image, advertisement and promotional image, and TV image.

When the edge detection image is output in the edge setting mode, the edge detection image adjustment unit 130 is a location where a user outputs the edge detection image through a button or a touch, and the size of the edge detection image. Is adjusted (that is, calibration is performed on the edge area). Accordingly, the controller 140 recognizes an area corresponding to the location and size at which the edge detection image is output as an edge unit. In this way, by dividing one liquid crystal panel into a body part region and an edge part region in software, the control unit 140 can then output different types of content for each region (ie, edge part, body part). .

The game information receiving unit 150 receives, from a server (eg, a casino server) (not shown) whether a game is being performed (or waiting), a game result, an event occurring during the game (eg, game termination, jackpot, etc.) do.

The user detection unit 160 detects (recognizes) a user of a terminal (eg, a game device). For example, the user detection unit 160 is a camera, a card (eg, ID card, credit card, room card, etc.), and personal information directly input through a keyboard (not shown) (eg, date of birth, room number, member information, social security number) , Passport number, etc.) to detect (recognize) the user.

The edge content storage unit 170 stores edge content (eg, content linked to a game event, content for inducing people's interest or gaze) to be output to the edge of the edge type liquid crystal panel.

FIG. 11 is an exemplary view shown to describe a method of displaying an image by dividing a display area of an edge portion (or side portion) from a display area of the body portion, and as shown in FIG. 10, the body portion is planar It is formed and the side portion (or edge portion) is formed in a curved shape. Fig. 11(a) is a perspective view of the edge type liquid crystal panel, and Fig. 11(b) is a plan view seen from the front of the edge type liquid crystal panel.

12 is a flowchart illustrating an edge type liquid crystal panel control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, when the mode of the edge type liquid crystal panel is an edge setting mode (YES in S101), the controller 140 outputs an edge detection image (S102).

When the image for edge detection is output in the edge setting mode as described above, the user adjusts the location at which the image for edge detection is output through a button (not shown) or a touch, and the size of the image for edge detection (ie, Calibration is performed on the edge area) (S102 to S103).

At this time, if the output position and the size of the edge detection image are not adjusted for a designated time (No in S103), the control unit 140 may adjust the edge detection image display area (or edge detection image output area). It is determined that it is completed (YES in S104). Alternatively, when a predetermined confirmation button (not shown) is input, the control unit 140 determines that adjustment of the image display area for edge detection is completed (YES in S104).

Until the adjustment of the image display area for edge detection (or the image output area for edge detection) is completed (No in S104), the user continues to adjust the output position and size of the image for edge detection (i.e., the edge area) Calibration) may be performed (S102 to S104).

In addition, if it is determined that the control of the edge detection image display area (or edge detection image output area) is completed (YES in S104), the control unit 140 outputs the last adjusted edge detection image, and The size (that is, the image display area for edge detection) is stored in the internal memory (not shown) as information about the edge area (S105).

Accordingly, since the edge portion and the body portion region of the edge type liquid crystal panel are separated, the control unit 140 may output different kinds of content for each region (ie, edge portion and body portion).

13 is a flowchart illustrating a method of outputting content to an edge unit according to whether a game is performed in FIG. 12.

As illustrated in FIG. 13, if the mode of the edge type liquid crystal panel is an active mode (YES in S201), the controller 140 checks whether it is playing (S202).

Here, the active mode is a mode other than the edge setting mode (that is, a mode for setting the edge area) among a plurality of modes capable of controlling the edge type liquid crystal panel, for example, a game mode, a standby mode, an advertisement and a promotion mode. It is a concept including all, TV mode, etc.

Accordingly, if the current mode is an active mode and a game is being played (YES in S202), the controller 140 checks whether a predetermined game-related event (eg, jackpot, etc.) occurs during the game (S203).

As a result of the check (S203), if a predetermined game-related event (eg, jackpot, etc.) occurs during the game (YES in S203), the control unit 140 is linked to the game event (ie, pre-specified) content (eg : Stationery, symbols, effects, etc.) are output to the edge (or side) (S204). Accordingly, it is possible to increase the satisfaction or appreciation of the game for the game user.

On the other hand, if the current mode is the active mode and is not in the game (No in S202), or if the current mode is the active mode and in the game, but a predetermined game-related event has not occurred (No in S203), the control unit 140 is designated in advance The content for inducing interest (or gaze) (eg, advertisement, phrase, sign, effect, etc.) is output to the edge (or side) (S205).

Accordingly, it is effective to induce people's interest or gaze or to induce people's interest when not in the game or when a game-related event does not occur even during the game.

14 is a flowchart for explaining a method of recognizing a user and outputting user information to an edge portion in a game.

Referring to FIG. 14, the controller 140 detects (recognizes) a user who uses (or intends to use) a terminal (eg, a game device) to which an edge type liquid crystal panel is attached (example of S301).

For example, the control unit 140 may include a camera attached to a terminal (eg, a game device), a card (eg, ID card, credit card, room card, etc.) reader, and personal information input through a keyboard (not shown) (eg: Users are detected (recognized) through date of birth, room number, member information, social security number, passport number, etc.

When the user is detected (or recognized), the control unit 140 receives the corresponding user information from a designated server (eg, casino server) (not shown) (S302).

For example, the user information is information used or operated by a user at a business site (for example, a casino) using a terminal (for example, a game device) to which the edge-type liquid crystal panel is attached (for example, information on a user's staying hotel, number of games for the user) , The number of visits by the user, the user's game win rate, and the type of game the user mainly plays).

Then, when user information is received from the designated server (eg, casino server), the control unit 130 outputs the received user information to a side unit (or edge unit) (S303).

By displaying the user information on the edge type liquid crystal panel (or monitor) as described above, the user's game is favored by providing management information at the business site (eg, casino) for users who use the terminal (eg, game device). It has the effect of helping to increase.

As described above, this embodiment includes a touch function in an edge type liquid crystal panel (or monitor), through which it is possible to perform an effect or a function that cannot be represented by an existing physical button, and uses only buttons. Compared to the case, there is an effect that enables a game design with a design that is more intuitive and can respond quickly.
