signal input unit 10, an adjustmentsignal generating unit 20, asignal processing unit 30, adisplay unit 40, and acontroller 50 that controls thesignal input unit 10, the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20, thesignal processing unit 30, and thedisplay unit 40. - The
signal input unit 10 which receives an image signal and a synchronization signal. Thesignal input unit 10 may comprise a tuner (not shown) that receives a broadcasting signal and an external connecting terminal (not shown) that receives an image signal from an external apparatus. - The external connecting terminal (not shown) may comprise various types of connectors through which image signals of various formats can be input. For example, the external connecting terminal may comprise at least one of a D-sub connector, a composite video baseband signal (CVBS) connector, a S-video connector and a component connector that receive the image signal.
- The adjustment
signal generating unit 20 generates an adjustment signal that adjusts a position and a size of an active signal of the input image signal, which is to be displayed on thedisplay unit 40 of the display apparatus. The adjustment signal is a signal acting as a reference based on which the active signal is processed. The active signal is input after a predetermined delay time elapses from a timing at which the adjustment signal is generated. - In this exemplary embodiment, the adjustment signal is a clamp signal and is generated in a blanking interval of the image signal. The blanking interval may be, for example, a back porch interval between a horizontal synchronization signal (HSync) and the active signal to be displayed on the
display unit 40. - In addition, the adjustment
signal generating unit 20 generates the adjustment signal after a predetermined delay time elapses from a particular point of time of the horizontal synchronization signal under control of thecontroller 50, which will be described later. - On the other hand, the adjustment
signal generating unit 20 may be provided in an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter that converts input analog image signals of various formats into a digital image signal of a specified format. - The
signal processing unit 30 processes the image signal input from thesignal input unit 10 and provides the processed image signal to thedisplay unit 40 under control of thecontroller 50. The image signal processed by thesignal processing unit 30 can be adjusted with its position and size. - Accordingly, the
signal processing unit 30 may include various functions corresponding to various formats of the input image signal. For example, thesignal processing unit 30 may include a digital decoding function, a scaling function of adjusting a vertical frequency, resolution, a picture aspect ratio, etc. of a digital image signal and/or an analog image signal to meet an output format of thedisplay unit 40, a format converting function, etc. - The
display unit 40 displays an image based on the image signal processed by thesignal processing unit 30, and may be embodied by various types of display devices such as a digital light processing (DLP) device, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP) and the like. - The
controller 50 analyzes the input image signal to determine whether the adjustment signal would be generated in the blank interval of the input image signal. Specifically, thecontroller 50 checks the blanking interval between the horizontal synchronization signal and the active signal and checks a delay time elapsed from the horizontal synchronization signal to the time when the adjustment signal would be generated. - In general, as shown in FIG. 2, the image signal comprises the horizontal synchronization signal, which is a pulse signal having a predetermined pulse width, and the active signal, and has a blanking interval Bb between the horizontal synchronization signal and the active signal. The
controller 50 controls the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 to generate the adjustment signal having a pulse width c at a position distant by a predetermined distance d from a falling edge of the horizontal synchronization signal in order to adjust the position and size of the image signal. - For example, in case of an image signal having a typical blanking time, an image signal having 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution has the total of 2240 pixel timings per cycle, the blanking timing (H back porch) between the horizontal synchronization signal and the active signal has 280 pixel timings, the horizontal synchronization signal has 176 pixel timings, an H front porch interval between the active signal and the next horizontal synchronization signal has 104 pixel timings, and the active signal has 1680 pixel timings.
- In the case shown in FIG. 3A, when an image signal with a reduced blanking timing Bb' is input, the adjustment signal generated at a position distant by a delay distance d from the horizontal synchronization signal lies at least partially within (i.e., overlaps) an active signal interval. In this case, for example, the image signal has the total of 1840 pixel timings per cycle, the blanking timing (H back porch Bb') between the horizontal synchronization signal and the active signal has 80 pixel timings, the horizontal synchronization (HSync) signal has 32 pixel timings, the H front porch Bf' interval between the active signal and the next horizontal synchronization signal has 48 pixel timings, and the active signal has 1680 pixel timings.
- Accordingly, when the image signal having the reduced blanking timing Bb' of 80 pixels is input, if the
controller 50 determines that the adjustment signal generated time delayed by distance d from the falling edge of the horizontal synchronization signal would lie at least partially within the active signal interval out of the blanking interval, thecontroller 50 controls the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 to reduce the pulse width of the adjustment signal by half. Further, thecontroller 50 changes a reference of the generation timing of the adjustment signal from the falling edge to a rising edge of the horizontal synchronization signal. Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 3B the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 generates a new adjustment signal that has a reduced pulse width c' and is distant by a changed delay distance d from the rising edge of the horizontal synchronization signal. This new adjustment signal lies within the reduced blanking interval. - Then, the
controller 50 controls thesignal processing unit 30 to adjust the size and position of the image signal based on the newly generated adjustment signal. - Hereinafter, an operation of the display apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.
- As shown in FIG. 4, first, the image signal including the horizontal synchronization signal and the active signal to be displayed on the
display unit 40 are input through thesignal input unit 10 at operation S1. - Then, the
controller 50 checks positions of the horizontal synchronization signal, the active signal and the blanking interval at operation S3.
Next, thecontroller 50 compares a timing at which the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 generates the adjustment signal with the blanking timing, and checks whether the adjustment signal would lie completely within the blanking interval at operation S5. If it is determined that the adjustment signal would not lie completely within the blanking interval, in other words, the adjustment signal would lie at least partially within the active signal interval or the adjustment signal is overlapped with the active signal interval, the controller controls the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 to adjust the adjustment signal at operation S7. - Specifically, in operation S7, the
controller 50 changes the reference of the generation timing of the adjustment signal from the falling edge to the rising edge of the horizontal synchronization signal, and controls the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 to reduce the pulse width of the adjustment signal to lie completely within the blanking interval. For example, thecontroller 50 controls the adjustmentsignal generating unit 20 to reduce the pulse width of the adjustment signal by half. - Accordingly, the adjustment
signal generating unit 20 generates a new adjustment signal at operation S9 that has changed pulse width and is distant by a changed delay distance from the changed reference, which is the rising edge of the horizontal synchronization signal. - As described above, the present invention provides a display apparatus which is capable of processing a reduced blanking timing image signal stably by precisely detecting a blanking interval of the image signal and adjusting position and pulse width of a clamp signal, which is an adjustment signal for adjustment of the image signal, and a control method thereof. Accordingly, the clamp signal may be generated within the blanking interval of the image signal, not within the active signal interval, thereby preventing any distortion or noises from occurring in an image.
- Although a few exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
