Abstract

Provided are a display system including a plurality of display apparatuses and a control method of the same. The display system including a plurality of display apparatuses comprises a first display apparatus configured to display an image to constitute a multi-screen, and receive power from a single power source; and a second display apparatus configured to display an image to constitute the multi-screen, and receive power from the single power source, wherein the second display apparatus starts operation after the first display apparatus enters a normal driving state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display system including a plurality of display apparatuses comprising;
a first display apparatus configured to display an image; and
a second display apparatus configured to display an image,
wherein the second display apparatus receives initial driving power from a power source while the first display apparatus receives the initial driving power from the power source if a sum of the initial driving powers of the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus is lower than an available power from the power source, and the second display apparatus receives the initial driving power from the power source after the first display apparatus receives the initial driving power from the power source and enters a normal driving state if the sum of the initial driving powers of the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus is higher than the available power from the power source,
wherein the first display apparatus comprises a user input receiver to receive a user command, and
wherein the plurality of display apparatuses included in the display system are driven in sequence by one command received from the user input receiver in the first display apparatus.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first display apparatus outputs a control signal informing the normal driving state when entering the normal driving state, and
the second display apparatus starts operation by receiving the control signal from the first display apparatus.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first display apparatus receives the initial driving power from the power source and outputs a power signal corresponding to the normal driving state when entering the normal driving state, and
the second display apparatus starts operation by receiving the power signal from the first display apparatus.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first display apparatus comprises a first connector comprising a first power line connected to the power source, and the second display apparatus comprises a second connector comprising a second power line connected to the first power line of the first connector.

5. A method of controlling a display system including a plurality of display apparatuses comprising a first display apparatus and a second display apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving, by the second display apparatus, initial driving power from a power source while the first display apparatus receives the initial driving power from the power source if a sum of the initial driving powers of the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus is lower than an available power from the power source, or receiving the initial driving power from the power source after the first display apparatus receives the initial driving power from the power source and enters a normal driving state if the sum of the initial driving powers of the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus is higher than the available power from the power source; and
displaying individual images on the first display apparatus and the second display apparatus to constitute a multi-screen,
wherein the first display apparatus starts operation by receiving a user command from a user input receiver, and
wherein the plurality of display apparatuses included in the display system are driven in sequence by one command received from the user input receiver in the first display apparatus.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
outputting a control signal informing the normal driving state when the first display apparatus enters the normal driving state,
wherein the second display apparatus starts operation by receiving the control signal from the first display apparatus.

7. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving the initial driving power from the power source and outputting, by the first display apparatus, a power signal corresponding to the normal driving state when entering the normal driving state,
wherein the second display apparatus starts operation in response to the power signal output from the first display apparatus.
