| 20110199719 | TELEVISION STAND - A display device may be mounted on a stand. The stand may present a display screen of the display device at an angle in which it is easy for the user to view the display screen. The desired tilt angle of the display screen may vary depending on where it is positioned, and where it is viewed from. The present invention provides a stand in which the tilt angle of a display device can be changed between at least two different angles. The display device is securely mounted to the stand at all tilt angles. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20100253856 | DISPLAY APPARATUS, VIDEO SIGNAL TRANSMISSION METHOD FOR DISPLAY APPARATUS, TRANSMITTING APPARATUS, AND TRANSMISSION METHOD OF VIDEO SIGNAL - Provided is a display apparatus including a first signal receiving unit that receives a non-compressed video signal from an external device via a first transmission path through a plurality of channels by means of a differential signal, an image display unit that displays images by processing the video signal received by the first signal receiving unit, a second signal receiving unit that receives a compressed video signal of a same video source as the non-compressed video signal by using a bi-directional communication path configured by predetermined lines of the first transmission path, and a signal transmitting unit that transmits a compressed video signal corresponding to the compressed video signal received by the second signal receiving unit to another external device different from the external device. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100201618 | USER INTERFACE - A user interface including a display driver and a control unit having a rotatable actuator. The display driver is configured to cause a display to display a plurality of selectable categories in a main array extending in a first direction, to display, for at least one of the categories, a respective plurality of selectable subcategories in a respective subarray extending in a second direction different to the first direction, to selectively highlight one of the categories and subcategories and to move highlighting between adjacent categories or subcategories in response to rotation of the rotatable actuator. The control unit includes an orientation sensor configured to detect whether the control unit is in a first orientation or a second orientation. The display driver is responsive to the orientation sensor and is configured to move highlighting in the first direction between adjacent categories in response to rotation of the rotatable actuator when the control unit is in the first orientation and to move highlighting in the second direction between adjacent subcategories in response to rotation of the rotatable actuator when the control unit is in the second orientation. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100182446 | IMAGE COMPENSATION APPARATUS - An image compensation apparatus for use with a video display and a video camera, the video camera being arranged to capture images of a scene in front of the video display. The image compensation apparatus includes an analyser configured to analyse successive frames of data provided to the video display, the successive frames of data being for displaying respective successive display images, a processor configured to calculate the illumination effect of the successive display images on the scene in front of the video displays and a compensator configured to apply image compensation to the successive images captured by the video camera so as to compensate for the effect of illumination by the video display of the scene in front of the video display. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100141843 | PROMOTIONAL LABELLING OF A TELEVISION APPARATUS - For the purpose of promotional labelling, a television apparatus modifies the video signal supplied to the display device to superimpose promotional graphics that indicate technical information about the television apparatus onto the video image that is displayed. This avoids the need for adhesive labels, thereby reducing cost and avoiding damage caused removal of adhesive labels. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20090174817 | Display device, program information display method in display device, receiving device, and signal transmission method in receiving device - There is provided a display device including a signal receiving unit for receiving a video signal from an external device via a transmission path through a plurality of channels using a differential signal, an information receiving unit for receiving program information from the external device using a bidirectional communication path including predetermined lines of the transmission path, an image display unit for displaying images on image display elements based on the video signal received by the signal receiving unit, and a program information display unit for displaying the program information on the image display elements based on the program information received by the information receiving unit. | 07-09-2009 |
