Referring to FIG. 5 , when the display device to which the automatic sterilization device according to the present embodiment is applied starts driving ( S101 ), the control unit 140 drives the droplet suction unit 170 to drive the surface of the main display unit 150 . Contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) approaching the are inhaled (S102).

At this time, the control unit 140 does not detect and inhale contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) approaching the surface of the main display unit 150 , but static electricity generated on the surface due to the characteristics of the display unit 50 . Contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) flowing around by the tend to approach, therefore, these contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) are primarily sucked and attached to the surface of the main display unit 150 . The purpose is to reduce the pollutants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.)

In addition, the control unit 140 controls the second sterilization unit 180 to sterilize the contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) sucked through the droplet suction unit 170 ( S103 ).

(or restore the strength before the increase) (S106).

That is, when the human body approaches the main display unit 150 , the droplet suction unit 170 and the second sterilization unit 180 may increase the amount of contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) generated in the human body. The purpose of this is to prevent contaminants (eg, droplets, dust, etc.) from adhering to the surface of the main display unit 150 by increasing the strength of the .

In addition, the moving (moving) speed of the first sterilizing unit 120 is reduced within a specified range (S304).

That is, when a human body approaches while the main display unit 150 is being sterilized, the intensity of the first sterilization unit 120 is reduced in order to minimize the effect of ultraviolet rays, and instead, the sterilization strength is reduced because the sterilization strength is reduced. 1 The purpose of this is to prevent a decrease in the sterilization effect due to increasing the sterilization time by decreasing the moving speed of the sterilization unit 120 .

On the other hand, when the human body does not approach the main display unit 150, or approaches and then moves away (No in S302), the control unit 140 increases (or decreases) the intensity of the first sterilization unit 120 within a specified range. to the previous strength) (S305).

In addition, the moving (moving) speed of the first sterilizing unit 120 is increased (or restored to the speed before the decrease) within a specified range (S306).
