도 1은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 액정 표시 장치를 나타낸 도면이다.1 is a diagram illustrating a liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

도 1을 참조하면, 본 발명에 따른 액정 표시 장치는 외부로부터 입력되는 복합영상신호(CVS)를 디코딩하여 아날로그 RGB 데이터 신호를 출력하는 디코더부(10)와, 이후 설명할 타이밍 제어부(30)에서 입력되는 데이터 마스킹 신호에 따라 디코더부(10)에서 출력되는 아날로그 RGB 데이터 신호를 스위칭하는 스위칭부(20)와, 사용자에 의해 외부로부터 화면분할모드신호(MS)가 입력되면 스위칭부(20)를 온시킴과 동시에 데이터 마스킹신호(DM)를 발생하고, 복합영상신호(CVS)를 근거로 수평시작신호(STH)를 발생하는 타이밍 제어부(30)와, 타이밍 제어부(30)에서 발생된 데이터 마스킹신호(DM)에 따라 아날로그 RGB 데이터 신호와 외부로부터 입력되는 문자신호(LS)의 디지털 RGB 데이터 신호를 중첩하고 감마 γ(gamma)를 보정하고 데이데이터를 반전하여 데이터 중첩신호를 발생하는 데이터 중첩부(40)와, 데이터 중첩부(40)에서 입력되는 데이터 중첩신호와 타이밍 제어부(30)에서 입력되는 수평시작신호(STH)를 근거로 TFT-LCD 패널(60)의 화면을 수평으로 분할하여 문자정보와 영상신호를 표시하는 표시 구동부(50)를 포함한다.Referring to FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a decoder 10 that decodes a complex image signal CVS input from the outside and outputs an analog RGB data signal, and a timing controller 30 to be described later. The switching unit 20 for switching the analog RGB data signal output from the decoder unit 10 according to the input data masking signal, and the switching unit 20 when the screen split mode signal MS is input from the outside by the user. The data masking signal generated by the timing controller 30 and the timing controller 30 generating the data masking signal DM and generating a horizontal start signal STH based on the composite video signal CVS. According to (DM), the analog RGB data signal and the digital RGB data signal of the character signal LS inputted from the outside are superimposed, the gamma γ (gamma) is corrected, and the inversion of the data is used to correct the data superimposition signal. The screen of the TFT-LCD panel 60 is displayed on the basis of the generated data overlapping unit 40, the data overlapping signal input from the data overlapping unit 40, and the horizontal start signal STH input from the timing controller 30. And a display driver 50 for dividing horizontally to display text information and video signals.

여기서, 어스펙트비가 16 : 9(480 픽셀×234 라인)인 TFT-LCD 화면에 NTSC 영상을 4 : 3 의 어스펙트비로 표시하기 위해서는 아날로그 RGB 데이터 신호와 디지털 RGB 문자신호의 샘플링 주파수를 다르게 해야 한다.Here, in order to display an NTSC image with an aspect ratio of 4: 3 on a TFT-LCD screen having an aspect ratio of 16: 9 (480 pixels x 234 lines), the sampling frequency of the analog RGB data signal and the digital RGB character signal must be different. .

도 2a 내지 도 2c는 화면분할 표시모드에 따라 수평동기신호에 따른 타이밍 제어부에서 발생하는 수평시작신호(STH)와 데이터 마스킹신호(DM)를 나타낸 타이밍도이다. 2A to 2C are timing diagrams illustrating a horizontal start signal STH and a data masking signal DM generated by a timing controller according to a horizontal synchronization signal in a screen division display mode.

예컨대, 화면분할모드신호(MS)가 중앙모드, 즉 주화면은 중앙에 배치되고 문자정보가 좌우 양 측에 배치되는 경우에는, 480픽셀이 수평방향으로 60 : 360 : 60으로 분할되고, 타이밍 제어부(30)에서는 도 2a에 도시된 바와 같은 데이터 마스킹신호(MS) 및 수평시작신호(STH)를 발생한다. 또한, 화면분할모드신호(MS)가 우측모드, 즉 주화면은 우측에 배치되고 문자정보가 좌측에 배치되는 경우에는, 480픽셀이 수평방향으로 120 : 360으로 분할되고, 타이밍 제어부(30)에서는 도 2b에 도시된 바와 같은 데이터 마스킹신호(MS) 및 수평시작신호(STH)를 발생한다. 또한, 화면분할모드신호(MS)가 좌측모드, 즉 주화면은 좌측에 배치되고 문자정보가 우측에 배치되는 경우에는, 480픽셀이 수평방향으로 360 : 120으로 분할되고, 타이밍 제어부(30)에서는 도 2c에 도시된 바와 같은 데이터 마스킹신호(MS) 및 수평시작신호 (STH)를 발생한다. For example, when the screen split mode signal MS is in the center mode, i.e., the main screen is disposed at the center and the character information is disposed at both the left and right sides, 480 pixels are divided into 60: 360: 60 in the horizontal direction, and the timing controller At 30, a data masking signal MS and a horizontal start signal STH are generated as shown in FIG. 2A. In addition, when the screen split mode signal MS is in the right mode, that is, the main screen is arranged on the right side and the character information is arranged on the left side, 480 pixels are divided into 120: 360 in the horizontal direction, and the timing controller 30 A data masking signal MS and a horizontal start signal STH as shown in FIG. 2B are generated. In addition, when the screen split mode signal MS is in the left mode, that is, the main screen is arranged on the left side and the character information is arranged on the right side, 480 pixels are divided into 360: 120 in the horizontal direction, and the timing controller 30 A data masking signal MS and a horizontal start signal STH are generated as shown in FIG. 2C.
