The broadcast reception unit 110 may include a tuner unit 111 and a demodulation unit 112.

Meanwhile, unlike the drawing, the display device 1000 includes only the external device interface 171 and the network interface 172 among the broadcast receiver 110, the external device interface 171, and the network interface 172. It is also possible to do so. That is, the display device 1000 may not include the broadcast reception unit 110.

The tuner unit 111 may select a broadcast signal corresponding to a channel selected by the user or all previously stored channels among broadcast signals received through an antenna (not shown) or a cable (not shown). The tuner unit 111 can convert the selected broadcast signal into an intermediate frequency signal or a baseband video or audio signal.

For example, if the selected broadcast signal is a digital broadcast signal, the tuner unit 111 may convert it into a digital IF signal (DIF), and if the selected broadcast signal is an analog broadcast signal, it may be converted into an analog baseband video or audio signal (CVBS/SIF).

In addition, the content, image quality, size, etc. of the image provided to the display module 180 can be controlled differently depending on the viewer or surrounding illumination detected by the sensing unit to provide an optimal viewing environment. As smart TVs advance, the number of functions mounted on display devices increases, and the number of sensing units 20 also increases.

For example, the input unit 130 may include a touch pad, physical buttons, etc. The input unit 130 can receive various user commands related to the operation of the display device 1000 and transmit control signals corresponding to the input commands to the control unit 180.

Recently, as the size of the bezel of the display device 1000 has become smaller, the number of display devices 1000 with the physical button-shaped input unit 130 exposed to the outside has been minimized. Instead, a minimal physical button is located on the back or side, and user input can be received through the remote control device 200 through a touchpad or a user input interface unit 173, which will be described later.

The storage unit 140 may store programs for processing and controlling each signal in the control unit 180, or may store processed video, audio, or data signals.

Programs stored in the storage unit 140 are not particularly limited as long as they can be executed by the control unit 180. The storage unit 140 may perform a function for temporarily storing video, voice, or data signals received from an external device through the external device interface unit 171. The storage unit 140 can store information about a certain broadcast channel through a channel memory function such as a channel map.

Although FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the storage unit 140 is provided separately from the control unit 180, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the storage unit 140 may be included in the control unit 180.

The display module 150 can be a plasma display panel (PDP), a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display, etc., and can also be capable of a three-dimensional display (3D display). It may be possible. The 3D display module 150 can be divided into a glasses-free type and a glasses type.

The display device 1000 includes a display module 150 that occupies most of the front area and a case that covers the rear side of the display module 150 and packages the display module 150.

Recently, the display device 1000 is a display module 150 that can be bent, such as LED (Light Emitting Diodes) or OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes), to implement a curved screen beyond a flat surface. can be used.

LCDs, which were mainly used in the past, received light through a backlight unit because it was difficult for the LCD to emit light on its own. The backlight unit is a device that uniformly supplies the light source and the light supplied from the light source to the liquid crystal located on the front. As the backlight unit became increasingly thinner, it was possible to implement a thin LCD, but it is difficult to implement the backlight unit using a flexible material, and when the backlight unit is bent, it is difficult to supply light uniformly to the liquid crystal, causing a problem in that the brightness of the screen changes.

On the other hand, in the case of LED or OLED, each element that makes up the pixel emits light on its own, so it can be implemented in a curved manner without using a backlight unit. In addition, since each element emits its own light, even if the positional relationship with neighboring elements changes, its own brightness is not affected, so the flexible display module 150 can be implemented using LED or OLED.

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panels appeared in earnest in the mid-2010s and are quickly replacing LCD in the small and medium-sized display market. OLED is a display made using a self-luminous phenomenon that emits light when a current flows through a fluorescent organic compound. The picture quality response speed is faster than that of LCD, so there is almost no afterimage when displaying a video.

OLED uses three types of phosphor organic compounds, including red, green, and blue, which have a self-luminous function. Electrons and positively charged particles injected from the cathode and anode are used to emit light. Since it is a light-emitting display product that utilizes the phenomenon of self-emitting light by combining within organic materials, there is no need for a backlight (halo device) that reduces color.

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) panel is a technology that uses one LED element as one pixel, and the size of the LED element can be reduced compared to the prior art, making it possible to implement a flexible display module 150. Previously, devices called LED TVs used LEDs as a light source for the backlight unit that supplied light to the LCD, but the LEDs themselves did not constitute a screen.

The display module 150 includes a display panel, a coupling magnet located on the back of the display panel, a first power supply unit, and a first signal module. The display panel may include a plurality of pixels (R, G, B). A plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may be formed in each area where a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines intersect. A plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may be placed or arranged in a matrix form.

For example, the plurality of pixels (R, G, B) include a red (R) subpixel, a green (Green, 'G') subpixel, and a blue (Blue, 'B') subpixel. It can be included. The plurality of pixels (R, G, B) may further include a white (hereinafter referred to as 'W') subpixel.

That is, the y direction represents the front, and the -y direction represents the rear. The display device 1000 further includes a connection portion 1300 connecting the display 1100 and the base 1200. The display 1100 can be tilted with respect to the base 1200 by the connection portion 1300. That is, the display 1100 can be tilted in the front-to-back direction with respect to the base 1200 by the connecting portion 1300. Through this, users can conveniently view the display 1100 regardless of the height at which the display device 1000 is mounted.

Figure 3(c) shows a front view of the display device. Figure 3(c) shows the display 1100 in a portrait mode where the vertical direction is longer than the left and right directions. The display device 1000 can rotate with respect to the base 1200 by the connection portion 1300. That is, the display device 1000 provides the portrait mode state in FIG. 3(c) by rotating the display 1100 with respect to the base 1200 from the landscape mode state in FIG. 3(a). At this time, the angle at which the display device 1000 can rotate is, for example, 0 degrees to 180 degrees. Accordingly, the display device 1000 can provide a landscape mode or portrait mode by rotating 0 degrees or 90 degrees, and can also provide a different version of the display by rotating 45 degrees.

As shown in FIG. 3, the display device 1000 further includes a sensor 1210. The sensor 1210 is placed on one side of the base 1200, for example. The sensor 1210 is placed on the front of the base 1200, for example. The sensor 1210 is, for example, an illumination sensor and senses the amount of light. For example, the sensor 1210 senses the projection beam L described in FIG. 2. The display 1100 outputs appropriate luminance in response to the sensed amount of light. Therefore, the sensor 1210 needs to secure a sufficient amount of light to output appropriate luminance.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of measuring power consumption in a modified example of a display device according to embodiments.

FIG. 4 (a) is the same as described in FIG. 3 (b) and shows a state in which the display 1100 is tilted with respect to the base 1200 through the connection portion 1300. That is, Figure 3(b) shows the display 1100 tilted forward.

As described in FIG. 3, the sensor 1210 is provided on the front of the base 1200.

At this time, the sensor 1210 is provided in a state protruding from the base 1200, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4. In this case, the sensor 1210 secures a small amount of light received even though the display 1100 is tilted toward the front. However, in this case, considering the tilt angle of the display 1100, the sensor 1210 is required to protrude significantly from the base 1200. Due to the protrusion of the sensor 1210, the display device 1000 has a problem with its appearance. Additionally, even when the sensor 1210 protrudes, there is a problem in that ambient light can hardly be sensed when the display 1100 is tilted at a preset angle, for example, 55 degrees or more.

Alternatively, unlike shown in (a) of FIG. 4, the sensor 1210 is provided on the base 1200 without protruding from the base 1200. In this case, the sensor 1210 cannot secure the amount of light received as the display 1100 is tilted. In other words, the sensor 1210 has a problem of not securing a sufficient amount of light.

FIG. 4(b) is an example described in FIG. 3(b) and shows the display 1100 in a folded state with respect to the base 1200 through the connection portion 1300.

At this time, the sensor 1210 is provided in a state protruding from the base 1200, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4. However, even in this case, there is a problem that the appearance is not good or a sufficient amount of light cannot be secured, as explained in (a) of FIG. 4.

Alternatively, the sensor 1210 is provided in a state that does not protrude from the base 1200, unlike shown in (b) of FIG. 4. However, in this case, as the sensor 1210 is directed downward, a sufficient amount of light is not secured.

In this way, as the display 1100 can change the state with respect to the base 1200, there is a problem that at least a part of the sensor 1210 is blocked from light and a sufficient amount of light cannot be secured. For example, if the sensor 1210 of the display device 1000 does not protrude, the sensor 1210 is obscured by the display 1100 as the display 1100 is tilted or rotated, and a sufficient amount of light is not secured. Alternatively, as the display 1100 is tilted or rotated, the sensor 1210 secures too much light reception. Additionally, when the sensor 1210 of the display device 1000 protrudes from the base 1200, the display device 1000 has problems with poor appearance and security of the amount of light received. That is, the display device 1000 outputs low luminance in response to the less secured amount of light received, even though the amount of surrounding light remains the same.

Accordingly, a display device 1000 that maintains the function of the sensor 1210 even when the display 1100 changes state with respect to the base 1200 is required. Accordingly, hereinafter, the display device 1000, which has an attractive appearance and outputs appropriate luminance because the sensor 1210 does not protrude from the base 1200, will be described.

Figure 5 is a block diagram explaining each configuration of a display device according to embodiments.

The display device 1000 according to embodiments includes a display 1100, a base 1200 supporting the display 1100, and a connection portion 1300 connecting the display 1100 and the base 1200.

Although not separately shown, the display 1100 according to embodiments includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels and a bezel, as described in FIG. 1 .

The display 1100 outputs an image through a display panel. At this time, the image includes a still image including a static image and a video including a dynamic image. Additionally, images include all dimensions: 2D, 3D, and still or moving images. The display 1100 outputs this image with appropriate brightness.

The display 1100 fixes the display panel through a bezel. The bezel is formed by surrounding the edge of the display panel. Additionally, the bezel may be formed to surround all or part of the rear of the display panel that does not output images.

As described in FIG. 2, the base 1200 supports the display 1100.

The base 1200 according to embodiments includes a sensor 1210 (eg, the sensor described in FIG. 1 ) and a processor 1260 (eg, the control unit described in FIG. 1 ). In addition, the display device 1000 includes a status sensor 1220, a communication unit 1230 (e.g., the broadcast receiver described in FIG. 1), an auxiliary sensor 1240, and a memory 1250 (e.g., the broadcast receiver described in FIG. 1). It may further include at least one of the storage unit).

The sensor 1210 senses the amount of light irradiated toward the sensor 1210. Sensor 1210 is, for example, an illumination sensor. At this time, the sensor 1210 is built into the base 1200. The sensor 1210 is provided in a state that does not protrude from the base 1200. For example, the sensor 1210 is placed in the center of the front of the base 1200. Through this, the sensor 1210 senses the average amount of light surrounding the display device 1000.

Additionally, for example, the sensor 1210 may be placed at the center of the front of the base 1200 at a predetermined angle with the ground, for example, at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the ground. The sensor 1210 may be arranged to face upward at an angle like this. Through this, the display device 1000 senses the amount of light input to the sensor 1210 regardless of the state in which the display 1100 and the base 1200 are coupled. For example, even when the base 1200 is completely folded with respect to the display 1100, the sensor 1210 senses the amount of light directed toward the sensor 1210. In addition, through this structure, for example, in the case of a test for measuring power consumption, the sensor 1210 senses light incident on the sensor 1210 according to the test.

Meanwhile, the display 1100 may further include one or more auxiliary sensors 1140. The auxiliary sensor 1140 senses the amount of ambient light. That is, the auxiliary sensor 1140 assists the function of the sensor 1210. At least one auxiliary sensor 1140 is disposed along the edge of the display panel. For example, at least one auxiliary sensor 1140 is disposed on the bezel. However, the position of the auxiliary sensor 1140 is not limited to this, and may be positioned so as not to interfere with the image output by the display panel.

At this time, when the display 1100 includes a plurality of auxiliary sensors 1140, each auxiliary sensor 1140 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the display panel. For example, when the display 1100 includes two auxiliary sensors 1140, each auxiliary sensor 1140 is located at the center of the rightmost side and the center of the leftmost side of the display 1100. Alternatively, when the display 1100 includes four auxiliary sensors 1140, each auxiliary sensor 1140 is located at the center of the rightmost side, the center of the uppermost side, the center of the leftmost side, and the lowermost side of the display 1100. It is located in the center. Through this, it is possible to secure an appropriate amount of surrounding light even when the position, state, or shape of the display 1100 changes.

Through this, the display device 1000 can enable the sensor 1210 to have a constant amount of light received for the surrounding luminance more accurately.

Meanwhile, like the sensor 1210, the auxiliary sensor 1140 is built into the bezel. That is, the auxiliary sensor 1140 does not protrude from the display 1100. Through this, the display device 1000 provides an excellent appearance.

The state sensor 1220 senses the state (scene) of the display 1100 and the base 1200. At this time, the state (scene) is a combination mode of the display 1100 and the base 1200. For example, the state sensor 1220 senses whether the display 1100 is tilted or rotated with respect to the base 1200, as shown in (b) or (c) of FIG. 3.

The communication unit 1230 transmits and receives data with an external device.

The auxiliary sensor 1240 senses the amount of ambient light. That is, the auxiliary sensor 1240 assists the function of the sensor 1210. The description of the auxiliary sensor 1240 is the same or similar to that of the auxiliary sensor 1140. The display device 1000 may not include both the auxiliary sensor 1140 and the auxiliary sensor 1240, or may include the auxiliary sensor 1140 and/or the auxiliary sensor 1240.

Meanwhile, the auxiliary sensor 1140 and/or auxiliary sensor 1240 may operate only when the function of the sensor 1210 is degraded. For example, the auxiliary sensor 1140 and/or the auxiliary sensor 1240 may operate when the function of the sensor 1210 is performed below a preset value. Through this, embodiments promote energy savings.

The memory 1250 stores data necessary for driving the display device 1000. The memory 1250 stores algorithms or instructions performed by the processor 1260. For example, the memory 1250 stores an algorithm for compensating data of the sensor 1210 and data required therefor. At this time, the data required for data compensation includes a gain table for each state (scene). The gain table shows the relationship between the brightness of the display 1100 and surrounding luminance according to each state (scene) in a graph or table.

The processor 1260 controls all or part of the components included in the display device 1000. The processor 1260 calculates the gain required for the sensor 1210 based on the amount of light secured through the sensor 1210. The processor 1260 calculates the gain using data stored in the memory 1250. Data stored in the memory 1250 is, for example, a gain table for each state. At this time, the gain table for each state can be received through the communication unit 1230 rather than the memory 1250. The processor 1260 corrects the amount of light received through the sensor 1210 using gain. The processor 1260 allows the sensor 1210 to accurately measure ambient luminance through the corrected amount of light received.

Through this, the display device 1000 ensures that the sensor 1210 secures a sufficient amount of light despite changes in the states of the display 1100 and the base 1200. Additionally, the display device 1000 senses accurate luminance. Accordingly, the display device 1000 accurately and easily measures power consumption in accordance with the energy regulations described in FIG. 2, for example. Additionally, the display device 1000 controls display brightness by, for example, sensing accurate luminance. Accordingly, the display device 1000 manages energy efficiently.

The connection part 1300 according to embodiments connects the display 1100 and the base 1200. The connection unit 1300 allows the display 1100 to be changed with respect to the base 1200. For example, the connector 1300 allows the display 1100 to tilt or rotate with respect to the base 1200. In this way, the display 1100 can change its set state with the base 1200 through the connection part 1300. At this time, the set state is a state in which the display 1100 and the base 1200 are combined. For example, when the display 1100 is tilted with respect to the base 1200, it may be said that the 'set state has changed'.

Additionally, the connection portion 1300 fixes the display 1100 to the base 1200. For example, when the set state is changed, the connection unit 1300 ensures that the display 1100 is fixed to the base 1200 in the changed state. The user can freely tilt or rotate the display 1100 and then fix it. Through this, embodiments improve convenience by providing various set states to users.

The connection portion 1300 includes a hinge portion 1310 and/or a rotation connection portion 1320.

The hinge unit 1310 connects the display 1100 and the base 1200 so that the angle of the base 1200 can be adjusted in the front-back direction with respect to the display 1100. At this time, the front-back direction is the y-direction in FIG. 2. Through this, the display 1100 can be tilted with respect to the base 1200. For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, the base 1200 may be completely folded relative to the display 1100.

The rotation connector 1320 connects the display 1100 and the base 1200 so that the display 1100 rotates in the left and right directions with respect to the base 1200. At this time, the left and right direction is the x direction in FIG. 2. Through this, the display 1100 can rotate with respect to the base 1200. For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8, the display 1100 may be rotated 90 degrees with respect to the base 1200 to provide a vertical screen.

Additionally, although not shown, the display device 1000 may further include a stand and/or bracket.

The stand is fixed to one side of the base. At this time, the stand is combined with the base and fixed to one side of the base. Alternatively, the stand is fixed to the base by a force supporting one side of the base. The stand is fixed to the bottom of the base. At this time, the lower surface is a surface facing the -z direction in the z direction described in FIG. 2. The stand extends from the base and supports the base relative to the ground. At this time, the stand supports the base while maintaining a certain distance from the ground. Meanwhile, the length of the stand is adjustable. Through this, the display device can be placed at a certain height from the ground even when there is no separate display device holder. At this time, the display device can be placed at a desired height from the ground by adjusting the height of the stand.

The bracket is mounted on one side of the base. At this time, the bracket is fixed to one surface of the base by engaging and combining the grooves or protrusions of the bracket and the protrusions or grooves of the base. Alternatively, the bracket is coupled and fixed by screws on one side of the base. The bracket is fixed to the bottom of the base. The bracket allows the display device 1000 to be fixed at an angle with respect to the ground. For example, the bracket is coupled to the base 1200 so that the display device 1000 is fixed to a wall surface inclined with respect to the ground. For example, the bracket is coupled to the base 1200 to secure the display device to the wall. Through this, the display device 1000 can be provided in both a standing type and a wall-mounted type.

Through this structure, the display device 1000 according to embodiments can output the same luminance even if the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 decreases for the same amount of light.

Below, a method for controlling such a display device will be described in detail.

Figure 6 is a flowchart explaining a method of controlling a display device according to embodiments.

The method of controlling a display device includes a step (s101) of sensing the amount of light being irradiated.

The sensor 1210 senses the amount of light irradiated toward the sensor 1210. At this time, the amount of light irradiated toward the sensor 1210 is, for example, the projection beam described in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the amount of light irradiated through the sensor 1210 is the brightness around the display device.

The method of controlling a display device includes calculating a gain for the amount of light received by the sensor based on the amount of sensed light (s102).

If there is a change in the sensed amount of light, the processor 1260 calculates a gain for the amount of received light. When the processor 1260 determines that there is a change between the received light amount before a preset time and the current received light amount, it calculates a gain for the current received light amount.

The processor 1260 calculates the gain through the gain table for each state stored in the memory 1250. At this time, the gain table for each state is a previously saved and set value. If the processor 1260 determines that there is a difference between the table and the current amount of light sensed by more than a preset range, it calculates the gain using the table.

Alternatively, the processor 1260 calculates the gain using the reference light quantity. At this time, the reference light amount is the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 when the display 1100 is at a preset angle with respect to the base 1200. For example, the reference light amount is the received light amount in the landscape mode described in FIG. 3. Or, for example, the reference light amount is the received light amount in the stand state shown in FIG. 7. Or, for example, it is the amount of light received when the display 1100 is tilted 90 degrees with respect to the base 1200. As for the reference light quantity, the processor 1260 determines the received light quantity when the sensor 1210 has sufficient light reception quantity to measure the surrounding luminance as the standard light quantity. For example, the processor 1260 calculates the gain based on the reference light amount and the difference between the reference light amount and the current sensed light amount. The processor 1260 calculates the gain when it determines that the current sensed light amount is outside a preset range from the reference light amount. Meanwhile, if the processor 1260 determines that the current amount of light sensed is equal to or within a preset range from the reference light amount, it determines that there is no change in the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. In this case, the gain is not calculated.

The method of controlling a display device includes a step (s103) of correcting the amount of light received by the sensor by applying a gain.

The processor 1260 applies gain to correct the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. For example, the processor 1260 corrects the amount of received light by correcting the master luminance curve for the gain table for each state. Or, for example, the processor 1260 corrects the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 by compensating for the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 by the calculated gain.

The method of controlling a display device includes controlling the brightness of the display according to the corrected amount of light received (s104). The processor 1260 controls the brightness of the display based on the corrected amount of light received. For example, the display device 1000 controls the brightness of the display so that the brightness of the display is proportional to the brightness of the surrounding area.

Through this, when the amount of ambient light is the same, the display device 1000 according to embodiments outputs the same luminance even if the amount of light received by the sensor 1260 changes according to a change in the state of the display device.

In FIGS. 7 and 8 below, the light L emitted from the light source 2000 has the same amount of light. The amount of light emitted from the light source 2000 does not change or changes within a meaningless range that does not affect luminance control.

Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of correcting the amount of light received according to embodiments.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example of tilting the display 1100 with respect to the base 1200 in the display device 1000 according to embodiments, and shows a sensor light received amount-surrounding luminance graph accordingly. In FIG. 7, the solid line represents the value of the amount of light actually received by the sensor 1210, and the dotted line represents the value of the corrected amount of light received.

(a) of FIG. 7 shows a stand state in which the display 1100 is perpendicular to the base 1200. (a) in FIG. 7 is a state in which light irradiated toward the sensor 1210 is sufficiently received, for example, in a state in which the standard light amount described in FIG. 6 is received.

Figure 7 (b) shows the base 1200 in a folded state with respect to the display 1100, showing a wall-mounted state. For example, (b) in FIG. 7 is a state in which the light irradiated toward the sensor 1210 is not sufficiently received, and the standard amount of light described in FIG. 6 is not received. As shown in (b) of FIG. 7, the position of the sensor 1210 moved along with the change in the state of the display device 1000. That is, the sensor 1210 secures a smaller amount of light received than in the stand state of FIG. 7(a).

Accordingly, the processor 1260 calculates the gain to correct the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. The processor 1260 applies gain to correct the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. For example, the processor 1260 increases the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 by applying a gain. The processor 1260 controls the brightness of the display 1100 based on the corrected amount of light received.

Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of correcting the amount of light received according to embodiments.

FIG. 8 illustrates an example of rotating the display 1100 with respect to the base 1200 in the display device 1000 according to embodiments and a graph of the resulting sensor light reception amount and ambient luminance. In FIG. 8, the solid line represents the value of the amount of light actually received by the sensor 1210, and the dotted line represents the value of the corrected amount of light received. FIG. 8 explains an example in which the sensor 1210 is disposed on the display 1100, unlike what is described in FIGS. 1 to 7.

Figure 8(a) shows the landscape mode state (see Figure 3). (a) in FIG. 8 is a state in which light irradiated toward the sensor 1210 is sufficiently received, for example, in a state in which the standard light amount described in FIG. 6 is received.

Figure 8(b) shows the portrait mode state (see Figure 3). For example, (b) in FIG. 8 is a state in which excessive light irradiated toward the sensor 1210 is received, which is a state in which light is received in excess of the standard light amount described in FIG. 6. As shown in (b) of FIG. 8, the position of the sensor 1210 moved together as the state of the display device 1000 changed. That is, the sensor 1210 secures a greater amount of light received than in the landscape mode state of FIG. 8(a).

Accordingly, the processor 1260 calculates the gain to correct the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. The processor 1260 applies gain to correct the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. For example, the processor 1260 applies a gain to reduce the amount of light received by the sensor 1260. The processor 1260 controls the brightness of the display 1100 based on the corrected amount of light received.

As such, the display device 1000 according to embodiments may display the display 1100 even when the sensor 1210 is interrupted from receiving light by the display 1100 or the amount of light received changes due to a positional movement of the sensor 1210. ) outputs the same luminance. Through this, the display device 1000 outputs appropriate brightness corresponding to the surrounding luminance.

9 is a flowchart explaining a method of controlling a display device according to embodiments.

The method of controlling a display device includes a step (s201) of sensing the amount of light being irradiated. The description of s201 is the same or similar to the description of s101 in FIG. 6.

The method of controlling a display device includes determining whether there is a change in the amount of light irradiated (s202).

The processor 1260 determines whether there is a change in the amount of light irradiated toward the sensor 1210 from the amount of light sensed through the sensor 1210 at preset times. At this time, if the amount of light irradiated before the preset time differs from the amount of light currently irradiated by more than a threshold value, the processor 1260 determines that the amount of light has changed. On the other hand, if the change in light quantity is less than the threshold value, the processor 1260 determines that the amount of irradiated light has not changed. At this time, if the processor 1260 determines that there is no change in the amount of light, the display 1100 outputs the same luminance as before the preset time.

The method of controlling a display device includes a step (s203) of sensing a scene when it is determined that there is a change in the amount of light irradiated.

When the processor 1260 determines that there is a change in the amount of light emitted in s202, the state sensor 1220 senses the state of the display device 1000. As described above, the scene is a combination mode of the display 1100 and the base 1200.

The method of controlling a display device includes determining whether there is a change in state (s204).

The processor 1260 determines that the state of the display device 1000 has changed when the coupling mode of the display 1100 and the base 1200 is different from before. For example, the processor 1260 1 second ago, the display 1100 and the base 1200 were in a stand state (see FIG. 7), but the display 1100 and the base 1200 are currently in a wall-mounted state. In the case (see FIG. 7), it is determined that the state of the display device 1000 has changed. At this time, before is before the preset time described in s202.

The control method of the display device includes calculating a gain and correcting the amount of light received based on it when it is determined that there is a change in the state (s205).

When the processor 1260 determines that there is a change in the state, it corresponds to a case where there is no change in the amount of ambient light, but the amount of light irradiated changes due to a change in the state of the display device 1000. Alternatively, this corresponds to a case where the amount of ambient light changes and the state of the display device 1000 also changes and the amount of irradiated light changes. The processor 1260 calculates a gain to compensate for the change in the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. The processor 1260 applies the calculated gain to the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 to compensate for the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. The detailed description of s205 is the same or similar to s102 to s103 in FIG. 6.

The method of controlling a display device includes controlling the brightness of the display (s206).

The processor 1260 controls the brightness of the display 1100 based on the amount of light received corrected according to compensation. The detailed description of s205 is the same or similar to s104 in FIG. 6.

Through this, the display device 1000 may output the same luminance as before the display 1100 senses the change in light amount when there is no change in the amount of ambient light, but the state of the display device 1000 changes.

Meanwhile, when the processor 1260 determines that there is no change in the state, it does not calculate a gain for correcting the amount of light received by the sensor 1210. In this case, the amount of ambient light changes, but the state of the display device 1000 does not change. Accordingly, the processor 1260 controls the brightness of the display 1100 based on the amount of light received by the sensor 1210 without correcting the amount of light received. Through this, the display device 1000 promotes energy use efficiency by calculating gain only when necessary.

As described above, the display device and the control method of the display device according to the embodiments provide a method that satisfies energy regulations while maintaining an attractive appearance. Additionally, in the embodiments, even when the amount of ambient light does not change but the amount of received light decreases due to a change in the state (scene) of the display device, the same luminance is output by correcting the amount of received light. Additionally, in embodiments, when the actual amount of surrounding light changes, the luminance is controlled based on the changed amount of received light.

Although the display device and the control method of the display device according to the embodiments of the present invention have been described above as specific embodiments, this is only an example and the present invention is not limited thereto, and is limited to the widest scope according to the basic idea disclosed in the present specification.
