Image display device, image display system, and network connection method

An image display system comprising an image supply device outputting an image signal, and an image display device capable of connecting to the image supply device, wherein

• the image display device includes:
• a display section adapted to display an input image in an image display area based on the image signal which is input from the image supply device, and
• an image controller adapted to divide the image display area into a plurality of divisional areas, and to cause the display section to display the input image in one of the divisional areas after connection to the image supply device is established, wherein
• before the connection is established, the image controller causes the display section to display a connection information code in at least one of the divisional areas, the connection information code representing connection information for connection to the image display device, and
• the image supply device includes:
• a connection information recognizer adapted to analyze the connection information code displayed by the image display device to recognize the connection information, and
• a connection section adapted to establish a connection with the image display device based on the connection information recognized by the connection information recognizer.
