Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a display device which actualizes sufficient transmission of the performance of a device displayed in a storefront display and maintains a desirable setting state in normal use. SOLUTION: In standard states adjusted by a size adjusting means 6, a distortion adjusting means 7, and a color adjusting means 8, a customer who visits the store operates one adjusting means to make settings deviating from the standard adjusted states. An MPU 4 counts the time from the operation of the adjusting means by the customer by a counter 5, and all the adjusting means are returned to the standard adjusted state a certain time later. Therefore, when a next customer comes to see the device, the device is in the standard setting state wherein the performance of the device is shown most preferably.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a display device that automatically returns to a standard adjustment state after a lapse of a predetermined time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional display apparatus, various adjustments such as brightness, contrast, screen size, screen position, and color control are performed by an MPU in order to use the display apparatus in the best condition according to a connected personal computer and its set resolution. It is possible for the user to freely set the setting.Once the setting is operated by operating the adjustment means, whether the setting is appropriate or inappropriate for use of the display, Designed to maintain state.

[0003] The operation of this conventional display device is usually such that the user sets various means by means of an adjustment button provided on the front portion, and once the adjustment is made so that the user does not have to make the adjustment again each time the device is used, the power supply is thereafter turned on. OFF / ON
It is designed to maintain that state regardless of whether or not there is, and once the screen is set using the adjusting means, the apparatus can be used in that state anytime thereafter.

[0004]

However, in the case of a display at a store, the conventional adjusting means is such that when a visitor operates the adjusting means to set the screen arbitrarily and leaves, the setting is not changed. There is a problem that the state of the setting that is very unsightly maintained is maintained, and when another visitor comes to see the next time, the user misunderstands that the performance of the apparatus is poor.

[0005] Further, if the automatic return means is simply provided, even if the customer purchases and uses the device, the device which has been set to the desired setting is returned to the standard setting without permission and the device is used. You will not be able to endure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a display device which realizes a sufficient transmission of the device performance in a store display and maintains a desired setting state during normal use.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a display device according to the present invention adjusts a display means for displaying image data and a size and a position of the image data displayed on the display means. A size adjustment unit, a distortion adjustment unit for adjusting the distortion of the image data, a color adjustment unit for adjusting the brightness of the image data and the color of the contrast, and the color adjustment unit, the size adjustment unit, and the distortion adjustment unit. A counter for counting the operation time,
The counter is characterized by comprising an MPU for controlling the size adjusting means, the distortion adjusting means, and the color adjusting means to a predetermined standard adjustment after counting a predetermined time.

Further, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the display device of the present invention uses the on-screen display to set the standard adjustment mode or the free adjustment mode only at the first adjustment after the power to the display means is turned on. And selecting means for selecting.

[0009]

Next, a display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit 9 for displaying image data 1 and a size and a position of the image data 1 displayed on the display unit 9. Size adjusting means 6 for adjusting, distortion adjusting means 7 for adjusting distortion of image data 1, color adjusting means 8 for adjusting brightness of image data 1 and color of contrast, color adjusting means 8 and size adjusting means 6. A counter 5 for counting the operation time of the distortion adjusting means 7, and an MPU 4 for controlling the size adjusting means 6, the distortion adjusting means 7, and the color adjusting means 8 to a predetermined standard adjustment after the counter 5 has counted a predetermined time. Be composed.

Next, the operation of the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The operation of the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in a standard adjustment state in the size adjustment means 6, the distortion adjustment means 7, and the color adjustment means 8, and When the customer operates the adjusting means, the setting is deviated from the standard adjustment state, and the MPU 4 counts the time from when the customer operates the adjusting means with the counter 5, and when a certain time elapses, the MPU 4 counts all the time. The adjustment means is returned to the standard adjustment state.

Accordingly, when the next customer comes to see the apparatus, the apparatus returns to the standard setting state in which the performance of the apparatus can be best represented.

Next, the operation of the display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a display apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The operation of the display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, is performed only at the first adjustment after the power is turned on, and is displayed on the storefront by the OSD (On Screen Display) (automatically standard display). A screen is displayed for selecting a mode for returning to the normal state or a mode for normal use (not automatically returning to the standard state).

Therefore, at the time of store display, by selecting the store display mode, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention is performed, and the performance of the device is sufficiently transmitted to the customer, and the customer purchases the device. If it is later necessary to maintain the settings adapted to one's personal computer, the optimal state suited to the customer is maintained by selecting the normal use mode.

[0020]

As described above, according to the display device of the present invention, the performance of the device can be efficiently transmitted to the customer during store display, and the optimum adjustment state can be maintained even during normal use. effective.
