A display apparatus includes an image processor which processes an image to display an image content; a display unit which displays thereon an image content that is processed by the image processor; and a controller which displays a user interface (UI) menu including a plurality of UI items to search the image content, as one of a two-dimensional (2D) layout by which the plurality of UI items are arranged in a 2D manner, and a three-dimensional (3D) layout by which the plurality of UI items are arranged in a 3D manner , and changes displaying the one of the layouts to display the other of the layouts according to a user's command while maintaining a continuity of the arrangement of the plurality of UI items. Accordingly, search for an image content can be efficiently performed by using a UI menu.

Display apparatus and control method thereof

A multi-mode media system operable at a given time in one of a first or a second mode, selectively, the first mode comprising operation to access a media source co-housed with or connected to and operationally integrated with the media system and configured to stream media content to the multi-mode media system for playing by the media system, and the second mode comprising operation of the media system for controlling over a network a media source remote from the multi-mode media system for outputting media content on an output device separate from the multi-mode media system, the media system not being operable in both modes simultaneously nor operable exclusively only in a single one of such modes.

Multi-mode media device operable in first and second modes, selectively

A display apparatus includes: an apparatus body including a screen; a guide member coupled to the apparatus body; a neck member coupled to the guide member to support the apparatus body; and a base member coupled to a lower part of the neck member to support the display apparatus on an installation place. The guide member includes an electromotive module, disposed in the guide member, coupled to the neck member to enable rotation between the neck member and the guide member.

Stand for display apparatus and display apparatus having the same

A signal processing apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The signal processing apparatus includes a signal receiver which receives a video signal; a video processor which processes the video signal received by the signal receiver; a display which displays the video signal processed by the video processor; a main controller which determines whether the signal processing apparatus is powered on and initializes the signal receiver and the video processor; and a sub controller which initializes the display while the main controller initializes at least one of the signal receiver and the video processor.

Signal processing apparatus and control method thereof

The present invention is to provide a DVD player with function of displaying multinational text type of subtitle simultaneously. In the DVD player, the hidden DVD multi-national subtitle is transformed into the text type of subtitle essentially by a text type of subtitle generation module. The video and the multi-national text type of subtitles are merged by a video subtitle composing unit and then are transmitted to a video output device to display the multi-national text type of subtitle in the DVD video on time so as to provide both effects of the video watching and the language learning.

When the power is switched on, a CPU 41 sets up a video signal selector 47 to select a composite signal a output by an amplifier/detector 46 . Meanwhile, a CPU 21 sets up a second video converter 31 to encode and to output, as a Y/C signal f, a digital broadcast video signal received across a signal path 33 , and also transmits an initialization end notification to the CPU 41 . Upon receiving this notification, the CPU 41 sets up the video signal selector 47 to select the Y/C signal f output by the second video converter 31.

In a configuration in which a cabinet is formed by an insulating material, there are provided a filter substrate 3 for electrically connecting a DVD device 1 to a television circuit substrate 5 and a shielding case 2 for covering the DVD device 1 and the filter substrate 3.

Television with built-in DVD device

A television set include a DVD-IC 20 for outputting a composite signal a containing subtitle information and closed caption information, a TV-IC 10 for outputting an OSD signal b based on the closed caption information identified in the composite signal a, and a serial bus connecting the DVD-IC 20 and the TV-IC 10 . The DVD-IC 20 informs the TV-IC 10 of the setting status of subtitle display based on the subtitle information in a DVD player. The TV-IC 10 , if the setting of subtitle display based on the subtitle information in the DVD player is ON, turns OFF the setting of subtitle display based on the closed caption information in the television receiver, thereby prohibiting an OSD signal b from being outputted.

Television set embedded with DVD player

A flat display device includes a display unit, a pedestal part for supporting the display unit, a joint part for connecting the pedestal part with the display unit, a rotation drive mechanism provided to the joint part for rotating the display unit in the horizontal direction, a motor for giving a rotation force to the rotation drive mechanism, a motor driver for driving the motor by supplying an operating voltage to the motor, and an operating voltage control portion for controlling the operating voltage. The operating voltage control portion performs the control so that the operating voltage is increased gradually when the driving of the rotation drive mechanism is started while the operating voltage is decreased gradually when the driving of the rotation drive mechanism is stopped. The motor generate a torque corresponding to the operating voltage. When the driving of the rotation drive mechanism is started or stopped, the torque of the motor is changed gradually so that acceleration and deceleration of the rotation speed is performed mildly.
