TV 튜너가 내장된 휴대용 컴퓨터Portable Computer with TV Tuner

본 발명은 휴대용 컴퓨터에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 휴대용 컴퓨터에 텔레비젼 수신기능을 부가한 휴대용 컴퓨터에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable computer, and more particularly, to a portable computer in which a television reception function is added to the portable computer.

일반적으로 널리 공지된 바와 같이, 휴대용 컴퓨터에는 주로 액정 소자가 사용된 모니터가 사용되는데 이와 같은 액정 소자로는 AMLCD(Active-Matrics LCD)가 주로 사용되고 있는데, AMLCD는 화질이 매우 우수하고 동작속도가 양호하기 때문에 동화상 데이터의 디스플레이 등에 사용되고 있으며, 이와 같은 AMLCD의 활용 분야로는 기존 텔레비젼과는 달리 그 두께가 매우 얇아 벽에걸 수 있는 벽걸이형 텔레비젼과 일반 휴대용 퍼스널 컴퓨터의 모니터 등이다.As is widely known, a portable computer mainly uses a monitor using a liquid crystal element. As such a liquid crystal element, an active-material LCD (AMLCD) is mainly used. The AMLCD has excellent image quality and a good operating speed. Therefore, the field of application of AMLCD is very thin, unlike conventional TVs, and the wall-mounted TV which can be hung on the wall, and the monitor of general laptops.

이와 같은 벽걸이형 텔레비젼을 구동하는 액정 소자와 휴대용 퍼스널 컴퓨터의 모니터에 적용되는 액정 소자의 구동 방식이 동일하기 때문에 휴대용 퍼스널 컴퓨터에서 텔레비젼 영상을 디스플레이하는 것도 물론 가능하다.Since the driving method of the liquid crystal element for driving such a wall-mounted television and the liquid crystal element applied to the monitor of the portable computer is the same, it is of course possible to display the television image in the portable computer.

이와 같은 종래의 휴대용 컴퓨터의 구성을 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.The configuration of such a conventional portable computer will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

첨부된 도면 도 1A는 휴대용 컴퓨터의 구성을 간략한 블록도로 나타낸 도면으로서, 휴대용 컴퓨터는 크게 전원을 공급하는 전원공급부(10)와, 상기 전원공급부(10)에는 전원을 온/오프(On/Off)시켜주는 스위치부(20)가 연결되어 있으며, 스위치부(20)는 다시 I/O 콘트롤러(30)와 전기적으로 연결되어 있다.1A is a schematic block diagram illustrating the configuration of a portable computer. The portable computer includes a power supply unit 10 for largely supplying power, and power supply to the power supply unit 10. On / Off The switch unit 20 is connected, and the switch unit 20 is electrically connected to the I / O controller 30 again.

또한, 상기 I/O 콘트롤러(30)에는 I/O 콘트롤러(30)에서 처리된 데이터 신호를 디스플레이하는 액정 모니터(40)가 연결되어 있으며, 상기 I/O 콘트롤러(30)에는 도 1B에 도시된 바와 같이 임시적인 데이터를 기억하는 램(RAM)과 각종 프로그램과 영구데이터 등이 기록되어 있는 롬(ROM)과 같이 각종 데이터를 기억하는 기억장치(60)와, I/O 콘트롤러(30)로 각종 데이터를 입력하는 입력장치(70)와, I/O 콘트롤러(30)에서 처리된 각종 데이터를 출력하는 출력장치(80)가 형성되어 있으며 이와 같은 데이터와 제어 신호는 데이터 버스(90)와 콘트롤버스(100)에 의해 상기 I/O 콘트롤러(30)에서 입력 및 출력된다.In addition, the I / O controller 30 is connected to a liquid crystal monitor 40 displaying a data signal processed by the I / O controller 30, and the I / O controller 30 is shown in FIG. 1B. As described above, the RAM 60 stores temporary data, the ROM 60 in which various programs and permanent data are stored, and the I / O controller 30 stores a variety of data. An input device 70 for inputting data and an output device 80 for outputting various types of data processed by the I / O controller 30 are formed. Such data and control signals are transmitted to the data bus 90 and the control bus. Input and output by the I / O controller 30 by the (100).
