That is, the cross-shaped display device 10 has a shape in which the first display portion 11 and the second display portion 12, which are rectangular in the horizontal and vertical directions, are moved and mutually overlapped and supported on the floor surface by the support member 13 . The present cross-shaped display device 10 may be applied to a case where the shape of the cross-shaped display device 10 is not a top-down shape.

The first display unit 11, the second display unit 12 and the control unit 20 convert the first video signal and the second video signal, which are the horizontal data transmitted from the computer connected through the display data transmission cable, . At this time, the cross-shaped display device 10 may be provided with an input port to which a cable for transmitting display data is connected. The input port may be an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port, a DVI (Digital Video Interface) port, an RGB (Red Green Blue or Analogue interface) port, an I And at least one port among the ports to be developed according to the power generation.

Therefore, in the present invention, the horizontal display image data and the vertical display image data output from the computer device are displayed on the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12, so that the user can effectively display the data. It is needless to say that the entirety of the cross-shaped display device 10 need not be a space for displaying data included in the video signal. In the case of displaying data in the horizontal direction, upper and lower portions are blank, , The right part may be blank.

The first display unit 11 is provided in a first direction (i.e., a horizontal direction), and the first video signal transmitted from the first video card 21 (i.e., horizontal video data) And the first signal area 111, 112 arranged on the side (i.e., left and / or right) side of the first selection area 113. The first signal area 111,

The second display unit 12 is provided in a second direction (i.e., vertical direction) perpendicular to the first direction. The second display unit 12 displays a second video signal (i.e., vertical video data) transmitted from the second video card 22, The second selection region 123 overlapping the first selection region 113 and the second signal regions 121 and 122 disposed on the side portions (i.e., the upper side and / or the lower side) of the second selection region 123 On the second area including the second area.

The control unit 20 is electrically connected to the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12 to control the operation of the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12, And a printed circuit board. The control unit 20 controls the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 11 to receive the first video signal and the second video signal received from the first video card 21 and the second video card 22 of the computer apparatus, 12 so that the video signal is displayed only in one of the first selection area 113 of the first area and the second selection area 123 of the second area.

More specifically, the control unit 20 selects one of the first video signal and the second video signal as a preferred video signal, and according to the preferred video signal, selects the first selection region 113 and the second selection region 113 It is possible to operate only one of the second selection regions 123 of the region. At this time, the priority video signal selects only one of the first selection region 113 and the second selection region 123 in which the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12 are overlapped, And the unselected area is a signal for controlling the video signal to not be projected. That is, the control unit 20 controls the video signal to be not projected in a selected region that is not selected according to the video signal.

3 (a), when the first video signal, which is the horizontal video data, is selected as the preferred video signal, the controller 20 controls the first selection region 113 and the second selection region 123 The first video signal is displayed on the first selection region 113 and the second video signal is not displayed on the second selection region 123.

3 (b), when the second video signal, which is the vertical video data, is selected as the priority video signal, the controller 20 controls the first selection region 113 and the second selection region 123 The second video signal is displayed on the second selection region 123 and the first video signal is not displayed on the first selection region 113. [

Meanwhile, the controller 20 may apply a manual mode or an automatic mode to select a video signal.

The manual mode is a mode in which one of the first video signal and the second video signal is preferentially selected as a video signal according to input information manually input by a user, thereby manually designating a screen preferred by the user.

More specifically, the passive mode designates a priority screen by manually inputting input information in the cruciform display device 10 in a screen mode determined by a user of the computer device to be preferred. For example, if you want to designate a landscape screen as the first screen, you can double-click the top left corner of the landscape screen with your mouse. Also, in the manual mode, if the user desires to change the priority screen, the priority screen can be maintained until the priority mode signal is input to the non-priority screen or the signal for changing to the automatic mode is input. For example, a computer user can decide to use the landscape mode and the portrait mode, and manually change the mode to a mode in which the area of the unused mode is clicked twice in the horizontal area or the vertical area. At this time, the initial mode is set to the previous end mode.

In addition, the automatic mode is a mode for automatically selecting a video signal in which a change (for example, a change in a window window) of a corresponding one of the first video signal and the second video signal is generated as a priority video signal, It is possible to input a signal for switching the screen switching mode to the automatic mode so as to automatically switch the screen. That is, in the automatic mode, the control unit 20 controls the display unit to automatically display a video signal in which the change of the display unit is first generated among the first video signal and the second video signal.

For example, in the automatic mode, the active window of the window is newly created, the active window is activated or the active window itself is moved to move the first selection area 113 (a2) and the second selection area 123 (b2) When occupied, the screen where the active window originally existed (the horizontal screen or the vertical screen) becomes a priority screen. At this time, the priority of a2 and b2 is not projected on the screen.

Also, when the activated window is out of the screen area of the current use mode, the length of the active window is compared with the length of the active window to determine the longer side as a reference. That is, if the width is long, it is changed to the landscape mode and if the length is long, it is changed to the portrait mode.

The controller 20 controls the first selection region 113 and the first signal regions 111 and 112 of the first display unit 11 in the first direction and the second direction, And the second selection area 123 and the second signal area 121 and 122 of the second display part 12 are set in the first direction and the second direction, Set location information. Then, the control unit 20 controls the first display unit 113 and the second display unit 123 so that a video signal is displayed only in one of the first selection area 113 and the second selection area 123 based on the first position information and the second position information. (11) and the second display section (12).

The location information setting logic by the control unit 20 will be described.

The first video card 21 in the computer device has a memory area a2 corresponding to the first selection area 113 and a memory area a1 corresponding to the first signal area 111, a3). The second video card 22 is divided into a memory area b2 corresponding to the second selection area 123 and memory areas b1 and b3 corresponding to the second signal areas 121 and 122 do.

The first video card 21 and the second video card 22 provide the first video signal and the second video signal having the memory regions separated to the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12 And the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12 display the first video signal and the second video signal, respectively. At this time, the controller 20 selects one of the first video signal and the second video signal as a preferred video signal, projects the video signal on a2 or b2 included in the preferred video signal, The image signal is not projected on the b2 or the a2.

7A and 7B, the pixel signal point coordinate information is set in the memory area of the first video card 21 and the second video card 22, . The control unit 20 converts the pixel signal point coordinate information for the first video card 21 and the second video card 22 into first position information for the first display unit 11 and second position information for the second display unit 12, And then displays the first video signal and the second video signal on the first display unit 11 and the second display unit 12 based on the first position information and the second position information.

At this time, the controller 20 controls the position of one selection area included in the first video signal among the first selection area 113 and the second selection area 123 of the first display part 11 and the second display part 12, Only the video signal of the corresponding point is displayed based on the information, and the video signal of the other selected area is not displayed.

To implement this operation, the control unit 20 includes a position information setting algorithm, and sets the first position information and the second position information as shown in FIG. 8 by a position information conversion algorithm.

As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, by the above-described positional information conversion algorithm, a C (= C) set for each of the first selection area 113 and the second selection area 123 of the first display part 11 and the second display part 12 The first positional information and the second positional information of the point are converted into the positional information as shown in Fig. 8 in order to display the video signal in the present cross-shaped display device 10. [

7A, the point C in the first selection area 113 of the first display unit 11 is (x1, y1), and the second selection area 113 of the second display unit 12 123) is (x2, y2). As a result, in this cruciform display device 10, the point C for displaying the image signal in one of the first selection region 113 and the second selection region 123 by the image signal first is (M, N ).

For example, when the first selection area 113 is selected by the priority video signal, (M, N) is calculated according to the following equation (1).

[Equation 1]

M = x1 - a

N = y1

Further, when the second selection region 123 is selected by the priority video signal, (M, N) is calculated according to the following equation (2).

&Quot; (2) "

M = y2

N = w + a - x2

Using the position information conversion algorithm, the cross-shaped display device 10 can implement a slideshow that sequentially displays a plurality of photographs, graphic images, moving images, and the like (hereinafter, referred to as photographs). At this time, the screen mode in which priority is given to the long side is determined by comparing the horizontal and vertical lengths of each picture, and the screen in the non-priority screen mode is expressed as a blank space. That is, if the width of the picture is long, the horizontal screens a1, a2 and a3 are projected onto the first display section 11 (here, b1 and b3 are co-multiplied and b2 is disregarded) , b3) are projected onto the second display unit 12 (at this time, a1 and a3 are blanked and a2 is ignored) to display the screen of the cruciform display device 10.

In addition, the horizontal and vertical sizes of the objects (pictures, movies) to be displayed on the screen are compared with each other, and the object is enlarged to be displayed in the largest size To be able to do so.

According to the cross-shaped display device 10 of the present invention configured as described above, when displaying data in which horizontal and vertical data exist at the same time, such as a collection of photographs, or when working for data processing, It is possible to maximize the effect of viewing the data. Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to solve the inconvenience of viewing the reduced contents because the data format does not match when the straight type monitor or the TV is placed horizontally.
