Abstract
A display apparatus for a vehicle includes a screen on which an image is displayed. A projector projects the image to the screen, and a knob is rotatably disposed at one side of the screen. A vibration sensor senses a vibration and outputs a vibration signal. A controller determines a rotational direction and a rotational amount of the knob based on the vibration signal output from the vibration sensor.

A display apparatus having a knob, comprising:
- a screen on which an image is displayed;
- a projector projecting the image to the screen;
- a knob rotatably disposed at one side of the screen, wherein the knob includes:
- a knob rotator;
- a plurality of reference protrusions provided at a first distance along an outer circumference of the knob rotator;
- and a plurality of directional protrusions provided at a second distance along the outer circumference of the knob rotator;
- a vibration sensor sensing a vibration from the knob and outputting a vibration signal;
- a controller configured to determine a rotational direction and a rotational amount of the knob based on the vibration signal output from the vibration sensor,
- a first vibrator configured to generate a first vibration by friction with the reference protrusions;
- and
- a second vibrator configured to generate a second vibration by friction with the directional protrusions,
- wherein the vibration sensor senses the first vibration to output a first pulse and senses the second vibration to output a second pulse, and
- wherein a level of the first pulse is different from a level of the second pulse and an output timing of the first pulse is different from an output timing of the second pulse.
