Abstract

Provided is a display device in which a display completes preparation for outputting an alarm before an alarm output time. The display device comprises a housing, a display, a roller accommodated in the housing to rotate to wind or unwind the display, and a controller configured to control the roller such that the display is drawn out of the housing before a predetermined time of a set alarm time and to output an alarm at the alarm time.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a housing;
a display;
a roller accommodated in the housing to rotate to wind or unwind the display; and
a controller configured to control the roller to start a drawing out of the display from the housing at a first time point and control the display to output an alarm at a second time point,
wherein the second time point is a time point set to output the alarm,
wherein the first time point precedes the second time point by a predetermined time period, and
wherein the predetermined time period is equal to a time period required to complete the drawing out of the display and facilitate outputting the alarm in full by the display.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to differently adjust a draw-out length of the display according to alarm setting information.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the roller such that the display is drawn out of the housing by a preset length.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein the preset length varies according to a type of an application which is set to be displayed at the display when the alarm is output.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to differently output the alarm according to a draw-out length of the display when the alarm is output.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to draw out the display by a maximum length based on a user being detected while the alarm is output.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display, at the display, a mirroring screen of an external device interworking with the display device based on a user being detected while the alarm is output.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to output audio or an image received through an external device interworking with the display device when the alarm is output.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the display such that a preset image is displayed at the display while the display is drawn out.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the preset image varies according to the second time point.

11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to perform control to gradually increase a brightness of the display while the display is drawn out.

12. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the display such that a brightness of the display varies according to a current time.

13. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to set the alarm to be output again after a reference time has passed, based on an input signal for temporarily stopping the alarm being received.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to turn off power of the display device when a number of times that the input signal for temporarily stopping the alarm is received exceeds a preset number.

15. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to adjust a brightness of the display based on an input signal for temporarily stopping the alarm being received.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to, after the input signal for temporarily stopping the alarm is received, adjust the brightness of the display to be darker than before the input signal is received.

17. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to an external device, a signal for granting authority to remotely control the display device when the alarm is output at the second time point.

18. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to end output of the alarm based on no input signal being received during a preset time after an output time of the alarm.

19. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the roller to draw the display into the housing based on no input signal being received during a preset time after the second time point.

20. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to set the alarm based on a signal received from an external device or user input that is received.
