Abstract

Disclosed are a display device and a method for operating the same. The display device includes a memory, a display, and a processor configured to set a first video output clock frequency for an input signal and output a video based on the set first video output clock frequency, wherein the processor is configured to set at least one second video output clock frequency, calculate an optimal video output clock frequency based on device performance information according to each set video output clock frequency and set the calculated optimal video output clock frequency as a video output clock frequency for the input signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display device comprising:
a memory; a display; and a processor configured to set a first video output clock frequency for an input signal and output a video included in the input signal, wherein the processor is configured to; set at least one second video output clock frequency in a background while simultaneously outputting the video based on the first video output clock frequency and determine one of the at least one second video output clock frequency as an optimal video output clock frequency based on a calculated device performance information including image quality data of an output video and data on a change in chip temperature and power consumption according to each of the at least one second video output clock frequency, and set the determined optimal video output clock frequency as a video output clock frequency for the input signal, wherein calculating the device performance information includes: setting priorities for image quality data of the output video and data on the change in chip temperature and power consumption and assigning weights according to the set priorities; and summing the weights of the image quality data and the data on the change in chip temperature and power consumption according to the at least one second video output clock frequency.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first video output clock frequency is a predefined video output clock frequency according to a resolution of the input signal.

3 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one second video output clock frequency is set to be tuned for the input signal regardless of device performance information according to the first video output clock frequency.

4 . The display device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one second video output clock frequency is set to be tuned for the input signal according to device performance information according to the first video output clock frequency.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second video output clock frequency is set to be tuned for the input signal based on the first video output clock frequency.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the image quality data is used to determine whether the image quality of the output video is deteriorated based on whether at least one image quality factor is enabled, the image quality factor including a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) value for determining whether there is a data error, dynamic color and dynamic contrast, Garmmet, Frame Rate Conversion (FRC) and local dimming.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to perform control to set the first video output clock frequency only when there is a change in resolution according to the input signal.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to detect an event and extract data in a change in chip temperature and power consumption according to the detected event.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to perform control to set the first video output clock frequency when an amount of the extracted change in chip temperature and power consumption is equal to or greater than a threshold compared to previously extracted data on a change in chip temperature and power consumption.

10 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to perform control to generate and store a lookup table in which a resolution, a codec, and a video output clock frequency are mapped with respect to an input signal.

11 . The display device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to extract device performance information-related log data according to each video output clock frequency tuned and set for the input signal, transmit the extracted log data to a server, and update the lookup table.

12 . A method for operating a display device, comprising:
detecting a change in resolution according to an input signal; setting a first video output clock frequency according to a changed resolution and outputting a video based on the set first video output clock frequency; setting at least one second video output clock frequency in a background while simultaneously outputting the video based on the first video output clock frequency; determining one of the at least one second video output clock frequency as an optimal video output clock frequency based on a calculated device performance information including image quality data of an output video and data on a change in chip temperature and power consumption according to each of the at least one second video output clock frequency; and setting the determined optimal video output clock frequency as a video output clock frequency for the input signal, wherein calculating the device performance information includes: setting priorities for image quality data of the output video and data on the change in chip temperature and power consumption and assigning weights according to the set priorities; and summing the weights of the image quality data and the data on the change in chip temperature and power consumption according to the at least one second video output clock frequency.
