The present invention relates to a technology for inputting user interface information through a liquid crystal panel incorporating an image sensor, and in particular, displays images by driving the liquid crystal panel and touches using image sensors provided in each pixel on the liquid crystal panel. The present invention relates to a user interface device and a method of an image sensor-embedded liquid crystal display device capable of pad or remote input.
In general, a liquid crystal display device is a display device in which image information is individually supplied to pixels arranged in a matrix, and a desired image is displayed by adjusting light transmittance of the pixels. To this end, a liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel in which pixels, which are the smallest unit for implementing an image, are arranged in an active matrix form, and a driving unit for driving the liquid crystal panel. Since the LCD does not emit light by itself, a backlight unit is provided to supply light to the LCD.

Hereinafter, an image sensor embedded LCD will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In fact, many image sensors are provided corresponding to the number of pixels on the liquid crystal panel, but all have the same structure, and thus only one unit pixel will be described for convenience of description.

The display pixel DP is a pixel for displaying an image and is driven by a data signal input through a transistor T1 which is a switching element turned on by a gate-on signal input through the gate line GL1. The relevant information is indicated by).
In addition, the sensor pixel SP is a pixel for scanning a scan object placed on the upper portion of the
The image signals for each pixel output as described above become scanning image signals acquired from one scan object. The sensed image signal may be output corresponding to each pixel, but as another example, the resolution may be reduced by driving one sensor pixel SP per several display pixels DP.
However, in the liquid crystal display device with such an image sensor, only the function of inputting image information using the sensor pixels is not able to perform a user interface function. Therefore, the user has to use a laser pointer to indicate an arbitrary part and input a control command using a mouse, which is inconvenient in use.
Accordingly, the present invention drives the liquid crystal panel to display an image, and uses an image sensor included in each pixel on the liquid crystal panel to use the same as a touch pad or to direct and remotely input a laser pointer.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a liquid crystal panel including an image sensor having an image sensor on each liquid crystal pixel for displaying an image and outputting scanning information or position information of a document or image; An input data synchronizer configured to perform a synchronization function to detect user interface information from scanning information input through each of the image sensors; A luminance level detector for detecting an extremely high or low value among the luminance level values of the scanning input data input through the input data synchronization unit; And a system for recognizing user interface information and performing a corresponding control function based on the detected luminance level value.
Another object of the present invention is to scan a scanning object placed on an image sensor-embedded liquid crystal panel through sensor pixels provided in each liquid crystal pixel and input an image signal according thereto; Detecting an extremely high or low value among luminance level values of the input image signal; And performing the corresponding function by recognizing the interface information of the user based on the result of performing the comparison operation a plurality of times in succession.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The sensor pixel SP is a pixel for scanning a scan object placed on an upper portion of the liquid crystal panel 10. The sensor pixel SP receives light reflected from the scan object after being irradiated from the backlight and serves as an image sensor PT1. The sensing signal is output to the data line DL1b through another switching element T2 that is turned on by the gate-on signal input through the gate line GL1b.
The image signals for each pixel output as described above become scanning image signals acquired from one scan object. The sensed image signal may be output corresponding to each pixel, but as another example, the resolution of the scanning image may be lowered and output by driving one sensor pixel SP per several display pixels DP.
