Abstract
Disclosed are a display apparatus and a control method thereof preventing boring and a trouble misunderstanding due to a mute screen supplied in changing an image signal, the display apparatus, including: a display unit which displays an image; an image processing unit which processes an input image signal to be displayed in the display unit, and displays a mute image in the display unit during a mute time when changing the input image signal; and a control unit which controls the image processing unit to gradually convert the total screen of the display unit displaying the input image signal to the mute image before displaying the mute image if a change signal for changing the input image signal is input.
Claims14
A display apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit which displays an image;
- an image processing unit which processes an input image signal to be displayed in the display unit, and displays a mute image in the display unit during a mute time when changing the input image signal;
- a control unit which controls the image processing unit to gradually convert the input image signal displayed on a total screen of the display unit to the mute image to shorten the displaying time of the mute image during a mute generating time before displaying the mute image and to gradually convert the mute image to a recovery image of a changed image signal during a mute disappearing time after displaying the mute image in the display unit if a change signal for changing the input image signal is input;
- and
- a user input unit for determining at least one of a mute generating type, from among a plurality of selectable mute generating types, which gradually converts the input image signal displayed on the total screen of the display unit to the mute image, and a mute disappearing type, from among a plurality of selectable mute disappearing types, which gradually converts the mute of the display unit to the recovery image of the changed image signal.
A control method of a display apparatus which includes a display unit displaying an image, the control method of the display apparatus comprising:
- inputting a change signal for changing an input image signal;
- gradually converting the input image signal displayed on a total screen of the display unit to a mute image;
- determining by a user at least one of a mute generating type, from among a plurality of selectable mute generating types, which gradually converts the input image signal displayed on the total screen of the display unit to the mute image, and a mute disappearing type, from among a plurality of selectable mute disappearing types, which gradually converts the mute image of the display unit to the recovery image of the changed image signal;
- displaying the mute image in the display unit during a mute time if the input image signal displayed on the total screen of the display unit is converted to the mute image;
- and
- displaying a changed image signal in the display unit after the mute image is displayed during the mute time,
- wherein, if the change signal is input, the mute image is delayed during a mute generating time, and
- wherein if the change signal is input, the changed image is delayed during a mute disappearing time.
