Abstract
A display device includes a displaying part which displays a picture based on a video signal output from a computer main body, a power supply which supplies driving power corresponding to one of a normal mode and a power saving mode, a power saving mode selection part which allows selection of the power saving mode, and a micro controller which controls the power supply to supply the driving power to the display device according to the power saving mode selected through the power saving mode selection part. Therefore, the display device can perform a power saving function by itself according to a selection by a user.
Claims24
A display device receiving a video signal output from a computer main body, comprising:
- a displaying part which displays a picture based on the video signal output from the computer main body;
