Abstract
A display device and a control method therefor. The display device includes a casing having an opening, a display unit configured to be inserted into or withdrawn from the casing through the opening, a display mover connected to the display unit and configured to move the display unit, and a controller configured to transfer a signal to the display mover and the display unit. The display unit moves according to a mode so that an area exposed to an outside of the casing differs according to the mode.
Claims4
A display device, comprising:
- a casing having an opening;
- a display unit configured to be inserted into and withdrawn from the casing through the opening;
- a display mover connected to the display unit and configured to move the display unit;
- a sensor configured to measure a distance between a lower portion of the casing and a lower end of the display unit, the distance being in a direction parallel to the direction of insertion and withdrawal of the display unit;
- and
- a controller configured to transfer a signal to the display mover and the display unit,
- wherein the display unit moves according to a mode so that an area exposed to an outside of the casing differs according to the mode, the mode being determined based on the distance measured by the sensor,
- wherein:
- the display unit includes a display driver configured to control a plurality of horizontal pixel lines included in a display,
- the controller transfers a screen control signal to the display driver, and
- the display driver controls image output of the horizontal pixel lines based on the screen control signal,
- wherein:
- the screen control signal includes an active period and an inactive period,
- the display driver applies a voltage to a horizontal pixel line based on the screen control signal of an active state,
- a starting point of the active period differs according to the mode, and
- a duration of the active period of the screen control signal differs based on the mode and is calculated based on a product of a scan rate for each line of pixels and a number of lines of pixels corresponding to the mode, and
- wherein:
- the active period or the inactive period of the screen control signal is based on a synchronization signal, and
- the synchronization signal is a signal indicating an order of image data, such that the screen control signal is activated upon receiving the synchronization signal indicating first image data and deactivated upon receiving the synchronization signal indicating last image data.

A method of controlling a display device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, a mode signal of a user;
- transmitting, by the controller, a movement control signal corresponding to the mode signal to a display mover;
- and
- transmitting, by the controller, a screen control signal corresponding to the mode signal to a display unit;
- moving the display unit based on the movement control signal by the display mover, wherein the moving the display unit comprises:
- determining a position of the display unit based on a value of a distance between a lower portion of a casing containing the display unit and a lower end of the display unit, the distance being in a direction parallel to a direction of movement of the display unit, the distance measured by a sensor,
- driving a motor based on the movement control signal, and
- determining whether the display unit is moved according to the movement control signal based on the value measured by the sensor,
- wherein the screen control signal includes an active period and an inactive period, and the active period or the inactive period are based on a synchronization signal indicating an order of image data, such that the screen control signal is activated upon receiving the synchronization signal indicating first image data and deactivated upon receiving the synchronization signal indicating last image data, and
- wherein:
- a duration of the active period of the screen control signal differs based on a mode corresponding to the mode signal, and
- the duration is calculated based on a product of a scan rate for each line of pixels and a number of lines of pixels corresponding to the mode.
