Abstract
Display apparatuses and methods are provided. A display apparatus includes a display module, a driving device that is configured to deform the display module from a flat surface state to a curved surface state and deform the display module from the flat surface state to the curved surface state, and a base member that is disposed at a rear of the display module and supports the driving device.
Claims31
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display module;
- a driving device that is configured to deform the display module from a flat surface state to a curved surface state and deform the display module from the flat surface state to the curved surface state;
- and
- a base member that is disposed at a rear of the display module and supports the driving device.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display module;
- a driving device that is configured deform the display module from a flat surface state to a curved surface state and deform the display module from the flat surface state to the curved surface state;
- and
- a controller that is configured to control the driving device,
- wherein the controller is configured to operate the driving device according to a user input.
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display module;
- a driving device that is configured to deform the display module from a flat surface state to a curved surface state and deform the display module from the flat surface state to the curved surface state;
- and
- a controller that is configured to control the driving device,
- wherein the controller is configured to operate the driving device based on a type of content of an image to be displayed on the display module.
A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether a user input for changing a curvature of a display module is received by the display apparatus;
- in response to determining that the user input is received, starting deformation of the display module;
- determining whether the user input stops being received by the display apparatus;
- in response to determining that the user input stops being received, stopping deformation of the display module;
- and
- in response to determining that the user input does not stop being received, continuously deforming the display module.
A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether a user input for changing a curvature of a display module is received by the display apparatus;
- in response to determining that the user input is received, displaying a user interface for selecting a mode on a screen;
- and
- controlling a display module in a mode selected through the user interface.
An apparatus for adjusting the curvature of a display panel, the apparatus comprising:
- an interface configured to receive an input from a user or to detect contents being played or selected to be played on a display of the display panel;
- and
- a controller configured to adjust a curvature of the display panel, in response to the interface receiving the input or detecting the contents.
