Abstract

A display apparatus, a stand, and a driving method of the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a display configured to display an image, a stand configured to support the display, a stand driver configured to control a position of the stand according to a user input, a detector configured to detect an operation state of the stand driver, and a controller configured to generate an alarm signal indicating an abnormal operation state of the stand driver in response to the operation state detected by the detector indicating the abnormal operation state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display apparatus comprising:
a display configured to display an image; a stand which supports the display; a stand driver configured to control a position of the stand according to a user input; a detector configured to detect an operation state of the stand driver; and a controller configured to generate an alarm signal indicating an abnormal operation state of the stand driver in response to the operation state detected by the detector indicating the abnormal operation state.

2 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stand comprises a plate which connects the display to the stand, and
a plate position of the plate changes in accordance with the position of the stand.

3 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the detector comprises:
a metallic member affixed to the plate; and a coil disposed over the stand in a position corresponding to the metallic member, a distance between the metallic member and the coil changes in accordance with the position of the stand, and the detector is further configured to determine the operation state based on an impedance change amount of the coil and the distance between the metallic member and the coil.

4 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the plate comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, and
the controller is further configured to control the plurality of light emitting diodes according to the user input.

5 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to generate a signal for driving the display to display an abnormal operation state indicator.

6 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an audio output interface,
wherein the controller is further configured to indicate the abnormal state by controlling the audio output interface to output an alarm sound.

7 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stand driver is further configured to control the position of the stand in response to a control signal being provided from the display.

8 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display comprises a graphic generator configured to control the display to display a graphic indicating the stand driver is controlling the position of the stand.

9 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display comprises a user interface (UI) generator configured to display a UI screen comprising elements to control the detector.

10 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a storage configured to store a reference value corresponding to a normal operation of the stand driver,
wherein the detector is further configured to generate an output value corresponding to the detected operation state; and the controller is further configured to determine the abnormal operation state by comparing the output value of the detector with the reference value.

11 . The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display comprises:
a signal processor configured to receive a signal, process the received signal and generate a display signal based on the processed signal; a display panel configured to display the image based on the processed signal; and a user input interface configured to receive the user input.

12 . A stand which supports a display, the stand comprising:
a stand driver configured to control a position of the stand according to a user input received through the display; a detector configured to detect an operation state of the stand driver; and a controller configured to generate an alarm signal indicating an abnormal operation state of the stand driver in response to the operation state detected by the detector indicating the abnormal operation state.

13 . The stand as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising a plate configured to connect the display to the stand,
wherein a plate position of the plate changes in accordance with the position of the stand.

14 . The stand as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the detector includes:
a metallic member affixed to the plate; and a coil disposed over the stand in a position corresponding to the metallic member, and the detector is further configured to determine the operation state based on an impedance change amount of the coil and the distance between the metallic member and the coil.

15 . The stand as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the plate comprises a plurality of light emitting diodes, and
the controller is further configured to control the light emitting diodes according to the user input.

16 . The stand as claimed in claim 12 , further comprising a storage configured to store a reference value corresponding to a normal operation of the stand driver,
wherein the detector is further configured to generate an output value corresponding to the detected operation state; and the controller is further configured to determine the abnormal operation state by comparing the output value of the detector with the reference value.

17 . The stand as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine the reference value by controlling the stand driver to repeatedly control the stand to move in first direction and a second direction a determined number of times, and store the determined reference value in the storage.

18 . The stand as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether the operation state detected by the detector indicates the abnormal operation state by comparing the operation state detected by the detector with the stored reference value after a first time period.

19 . The stand as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the detector is further configured to generate a first detection signal and a second detection signal indicating the operation state of the stand driver, and
the controller is further configured to compare the first detection signal and the second detection signal and offset the first detection signal based on the comparing and the stored reference value.
