[0084] The tuner unit (110) selects an RF (Radio Frequency) broadcast signal corresponding to a channel selected by the user or all previously stored channels among the RF broadcast signals received through an antenna (not shown). Additionally, it converts the selected RF broadcast signal into an intermediate frequency signal or a baseband video or audio signal.
[0085] For example, if the selected RF broadcast signal is a digital broadcast signal, it is converted into a digital IF signal (DIF), and if it is an analog broadcast signal, it is converted into an analog baseband video or audio signal (CVBS / SIF). That is, the tuner unit (110) can process a digital broadcast signal or an analog broadcast signal.

Additionally, the storage unit (140) may store information regarding a predetermined broadcast channel through a channel memory function such as a channel map.
[0098] Although FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment in which the storage unit (140) is provided separately from the signal processing device (170), the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The storage unit (140) may be included within the signal processing device (170).
[0099] The user input interface unit (150) transmits a signal input by the user to the signal processing device (170) or transmits a signal from the signal processing device (170) to the user.
[0100] For example, user input signals such as power on / off, channel selection, and screen settings can be transmitted / received from a remote control device (200), user input signals input from local keys (not shown) such as a power key, channel key, volume key, and setting value can be transmitted to a signal processing device (170), user input signals input from a sensor unit (not shown) that senses a user's gesture can be transmitted to a signal processing device (170), or signals from the signal processing device (170) can be transmitted to a sensor unit (not shown).

This will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.
[0106] In addition, the signal processing device (170) can control the overall operation within the image display device (100).

In addition, it can determine the x-axis coordinate and y-axis coordinate within the display (180) corresponding to the user's location.
[0111] The display (180) generates a driving signal by converting a video signal, data signal, OSD signal, control signal processed by a signal processing device (170) or a video signal, data signal, control signal, etc. received from an external device interface unit (130).

Additionally, it may further include a data processing unit (not shown).
[0124] The demultiplexer (310) demultiplexes the input stream. For example, if an MPEG-2 TS is input, it can be demultiplexed to separate it into video, audio, and data signals. Here, the stream signal input to the demultiplexer (310) may be a stream signal output from the tuner (110), the demodulator (120), or the external device interface (130).
[0125] The image processing unit (320) can perform signal processing on the input image. For example, the image processing unit (320) can perform image processing on the image signal demultiplexed from the demultiplexing unit (310).
[0126] To this end, the image processing unit (320) may include an image decoder (325), a scaler (335), an image quality processing unit (635), an image encoder (not shown), a graphics processing unit (340), a frame rate conversion unit (350), and a formatter (360), etc.

In particular, such a pointer can be generated in a pointing signal processing unit, and the graphics processing unit (240) may include such a pointing signal processing unit (not shown). Of course, it is also possible for the pointing signal processing unit (not shown) to be provided separately rather than being provided within the graphics processing unit (240).
[0135] The frame rate converter (FRC) (350) can convert the frame rate of the input video. Meanwhile, the frame rate converter (350) can also output the video as is without separate frame rate conversion.
[0136] Meanwhile, the formatter (360) can convert the format of the input video signal into a video signal for display on a display and output it.
[0137] In particular, the formatter (360) can change the format of the video signal to correspond to the display panel.
[0138] Meanwhile, the formatter (360) may change the format of the video signal.
[0139] The processor (330) can control the overall operation within the image display device (100) or the signal processing device (170).
[0140] For example, the processor (330) can control the tuner (110) to select (Tuning) an RF broadcast corresponding to a channel selected by the user or a pre-stored channel.
[0141] Additionally, the processor (330) can control the image display device (100) by means of a user command or an internal program input through the user input interface unit (150).
[0142] Additionally, the processor (330) can perform data transmission control with the network interface unit (135) or the external device interface unit (130).
[0143] Additionally, the processor (330) can control the operation of the demultiplexer (310), image processing unit (320), etc., within the signal processing device (170).
[0144] Meanwhile, the audio processing unit (370) within the signal processing device (170) can perform voice processing of the demultiplexed voice signal. To this end, the audio processing unit (370) may be equipped with various decoders.
[0145] Additionally, the audio processing unit (370) within the signal processing device (170) can process bass, treble, volume control, etc.
[0146] A data processing unit (not shown) within a signal processing device (170) can perform data processing of a demultiplexed data signal.

[0150] FIG. 4a is a diagram illustrating a control method of the remote control device of FIG. 2.
[0151] As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 4a, a pointer (205) corresponding to the remote control device (200) is displayed on the display (180).
[0152] The user can move or rotate the remote control device (200) up and down, left and right ((b) of FIG. 4a), and forward and backward ((c) of FIG. 4a). The pointer (205) displayed on the display (180) of the image display device corresponds to the movement of the remote control device (200). Since the pointer (205) of the remote control device (200) moves and is displayed according to the movement in 3D space as shown in the drawing, it can be named a spatial remote control or a 3D pointing device.
[0153] Figure 4a (b) illustrates that when the user moves the remote control device (200) to the left, the pointer (205) displayed on the display (180) of the image display device also moves to the left in response.
[0154] Information regarding the movement of the remote control device (200) detected through the sensor of the remote control device (200) is transmitted to the image display device. The image display device can calculate the coordinates of the pointer (205) from the information regarding the movement of the remote control device (200). The image display device can display the pointer (205) to correspond to the calculated coordinates.
[0155] Figure 4a (c) illustrates a case where, while pressing a specific button within the remote control device (200), the user moves the remote control device (200) away from the display (180). By doing so, the selected area within the display (180) corresponding to the pointer (205) can be zoomed in and enlarged. Conversely, when the user moves the remote control device (200) closer to the display (180), the selected area within the display (180) corresponding to the pointer (205) can be zoomed out and reduced. Meanwhile, when the remote control device (200) moves away from the display (180), the selected area is zoomed out, and when the remote control device (200) moves closer to the display (180), the selected area may be zoomed in.
[0156] Meanwhile, when a specific button within the remote control device (200) is pressed, recognition of up-down and left-right movement may be excluded. That is, when the remote control device (200) moves away from or closer to the display (180), up-down, left-right movement is not recognized, and only forward-backward movement is recognized. When the specific button within the remote control device (200) is not pressed, only the pointer (205) moves according to the up-down, left-right movement of the remote control device (200).
[0157] Meanwhile, the movement speed or direction of movement of the pointer (205) can correspond to the movement speed or direction of movement of the remote control device (200).

[0162] In this embodiment, the remote control device (200) transmits a signal containing information regarding the movement of the remote control device (200), etc., to the video display device (100) through the RF module (421).
[0163] Additionally, the remote control device (200) can receive a signal transmitted by the video display device (100) through the RF module (421). Additionally, the remote control device (200) can transmit commands regarding power on / off, channel change, volume change, etc. to the video display device (100) through the IR module (423) as needed.
[0164] The user input unit (435) may be composed of a keypad, buttons, a touchpad, or a touch screen. The user may input commands related to the image display device (100) to the remote control device (200) by operating the user input unit (435). If the user input unit (435) is equipped with a hard key button, the user may input commands related to the image display device (100) to the remote control device (200) through a push operation of the hard key button. If the user input unit (435) is equipped with a touch screen, the user may input commands related to the image display device (100) to the remote control device (200) by touching the soft keys of the touch screen. Additionally, the user input unit (435) may be equipped with various types of input means that the user can operate, such as a scroll key or a jog key, and this embodiment does not limit the scope of the rights of this disclosure.
[0165] The sensor unit (440) may be equipped with a gyroscope sensor (441) or an accelerometer sensor (443). The gyroscope sensor (441) can sense information regarding the movement of the remote control device (200).
[0166] For example, the gyroscope sensor (441) can sense information regarding the operation of the remote control device (200) based on the x, y, and z axes. The accelerometer sensor (443) can sense information regarding the movement speed of the remote control device (200), etc. Meanwhile, a distance measuring sensor may be further provided, thereby allowing the distance to be sensed from the display (180).
[0167] The output unit (450) can output a video or audio signal corresponding to the operation of the user input unit (435) or a signal transmitted from the video display device (100). Through the output unit (450), the user can recognize whether the user input unit (435) is operated or whether the video display device (100) is controlled.
[0168] For example, the output unit (450) may be equipped with an LED module (451) that lights up when the user input unit (435) is operated or when a signal is transmitted and received with the image display device (100) through the wireless communication unit (425), a vibration module (453) that generates vibration, a sound output module (455) that outputs sound, or a display module (457) that outputs image.
[0169] The power supply unit (460) supplies power to the remote control device (200). The power supply unit (460) can reduce power waste by stopping the power supply when the remote control device (200) does not move for a predetermined period of time. The power supply unit (460) can resume the power supply when a predetermined key provided in the remote control device (200) is operated.
[0170] The storage unit (470) may store various types of programs, application data, etc., necessary for the control or operation of the remote control device (200). If the remote control device (200) transmits and receives signals wirelessly through the video display device (100) and the RF module (421), the remote control device (200) and the video display device (100) transmit and receive signals through a predetermined frequency band. The control unit (480) of the remote control device (200) may store and refer to information regarding the frequency band, etc., for wirelessly transmitting and receiving signals with the video display device (100) paired with the remote control device (200) in the storage unit (470).
[0171] The control unit (480) controls all matters related to the control of the remote control device (200). The control unit (480) can transmit a signal corresponding to a predetermined key operation of the user input unit (435) or a signal corresponding to the movement of the remote control device (200) sensed by the sensor unit (440) to the image display device (100) through the wireless communication unit (425).

[0173] The user input interface unit (150) can wirelessly transmit and receive signals to and from the remote control device (200) through the RF module (412). It can also receive signals transmitted by the remote control device (200) according to the IR communication standard through the IR module (413).
[0174] The coordinate value calculation unit (415) can calculate the coordinate values (x,y) of the pointer (205) to be displayed on the display (170) by correcting for hand tremor or error from the signal corresponding to the operation of the remote control device (200) received through the wireless communication unit (151).
[0175] The transmission signal of the remote control device (200) input to the video display device (100) through the user input interface unit (150) is transmitted to the signal processing unit (170) of the video display device (100). The signal processing unit (170) can determine information regarding the operation and key operation of the remote control device (200) from the signal transmitted from the remote control device (200), and control the video display device (100) accordingly.
[0176] As another example, the remote control device (200) can calculate a pointer coordinate value corresponding to the operation and output it to the user input interface unit (150) of the image display device (100). In this case, the user input interface unit (150) of the image display device (100) can transmit information regarding the received pointer coordinate value to the signal processing device (170) without a separate hand tremor or error correction process.
[0177] In addition, as another example, the coordinate value calculation unit (415) may be provided inside the signal processing unit (170) rather than the user input interface unit (150), unlike in the drawing.
[0178] Figure 5 is an example of an internal block diagram of the display of Figure 2.
[0179] Referring to the drawing, the organic light-emitting panel-based display (180) may include an organic light-emitting panel (210), a first interface unit (230), a second interface unit (231), a timing controller (232), a gate driver (234), a data driver (236), a memory (240), a processor (270), a power supply unit (290), a current detection unit (510), etc.

[0181] Meanwhile, the first interface unit (230) within the display (180) can receive a video signal (Vd) and a first DC voltage (V1) from the signal processing device (170).
[0182] Here, the first DC voltage (V1) can be used for the operation of the power supply (290) and the timing controller (232) within the display (180).
[0183] Next, the second interface unit (231) can receive a second DC voltage (V2) from an external power supply unit (190). Meanwhile, the second DC voltage (V2) can be input to a data driving unit (236) within the display (180).
[0184] The timing controller (232) can output a data driving signal (Sda) and a gate driving signal (Sga) based on the video signal (Vd).
[0185] For example, when the first interface unit (230) converts an input video signal (Vd) and outputs a converted video signal (va1), the timing controller (232) can output a data driving signal (Sda) and a gate driving signal (Sga) based on the converted video signal (va1).
[0186] The timing controller (232) can receive additional signals, such as a control signal and a vertical synchronization signal (Vsync), in addition to the video signal (Vd) from the signal processing device (170).
[0187] In addition, the timing controller (232) can output a gate driving signal (Sga) for the operation of the gate driving unit (234) and a data driving signal (Sda) for the operation of the data driving unit (236) based on a control signal, a vertical synchronization signal (Vsync), etc., in addition to the video signal (Vd).
[0188] The data driving signal (Sda) at this time may be a data driving signal for driving RGBW subpixels when the panel (210) has RGBW subpixels.
[0189] Meanwhile, the timing controller (232) can further output a control signal (Cs) to the gate driver (234).
[0190] The gate driver (234) and the data driver (236) supply a scanning signal and an image signal to the organic light-emitting panel (210) through the gate line (GL) and the data line (DL), respectively, according to the gate driving signal (Sga) and the data driving signal (Sda) from the timing controller (232). Accordingly, the organic light-emitting panel (210) displays a predetermined image.
[0191] Meanwhile, the organic light-emitting panel (210) may include an organic light-emitting layer, and to display an image, a plurality of gate lines (GL) and data lines (DL) may be arranged in an intersecting matrix form at each pixel corresponding to the organic light-emitting layer.

[0200] Meanwhile, a pixel (subpixel) is defined in the intersection area of the scan line and the data line within the organic light-emitting panel (210b). In the drawing, a pixel having RGBW subpixels (SR1, SG1, SB1, SW1) is shown.

[0203] A scan switching element (SW1) has a scan line connected to its gate terminal and turns on according to an input scan signal (Vdscan). When turned on, it transmits an input data signal (Vdata) to the gate terminal of a driving switching element (SW2) or to one end of a storage capacitor (Cst).
[0204] A storage capacitor (Cst) is formed between the gate terminal and the source terminal of a driving switching element (SW2) and stores a predetermined difference between a data signal level transmitted to one end of the storage capacitor (Cst) and a DC voltage (Vdd) level transmitted to the other end of the storage capacitor (Cst).
[0205] For example, if the data signal has different levels according to the PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) method, the power level stored in the storage capacitor (Cst) changes depending on the level difference of the data signal (Vdata).
[0206] As another example, when the data signal has different pulse widths according to the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) method, the power level stored in the storage capacitor (Cst) changes depending on the difference in the pulse width of the data signal (Vdata).

That is, green, red, and blue subpixels are each provided with additional green, red, and blue color filters, respectively. On the other hand, since the white subpixel emits white light, a separate color filter is not required.
[0210] Meanwhile, in the drawing, the scan switching element (SW1) and the driving switching element (SW2) are exemplified as p-type MOSFETs, but it is also possible to use n-type MOSFETs or other switching elements such as JFETs, IGBTs, or SICs.
[0211] Meanwhile, a pixel is a hold-type device that continues to emit light from an organic light-emitting layer (OLED) after a scan signal is applied during a unit display period, specifically during a unit frame.

[0227] Meanwhile, if the display (180) is an inorganic light-emitting panel, the display driving voltage (Vdd) may be the pixel driving voltage of the inorganic light-emitting pixel.
[0228] Meanwhile, if the display (180) is a liquid crystal panel, the display driving voltage (Vdd) may be a backlight driving voltage or a liquid crystal pixel driving voltage.
[0229] Meanwhile, depending on the wireless power transmission environment, etc., the first DC voltage (Vrc) from the wireless power receiving device (30) varies.
[0230] For example, the input voltage (Vac) may be approximately 220V, and the first DC voltage (Vrc) from the wireless power receiving device (30) may vary between approximately VLn and VLm. Specifically, the first DC voltage (Vrc) may vary between 400 and 700V.
[0231] Meanwhile, the display driving voltage (Vdd) may be approximately VLp, which is smaller than the first DC voltage (Vrc). Specifically, the display driving voltage (Vdd) may be approximately between 21V and 30V.
[0232] That is, the variation range (Rga) of the first DC voltage (Vrc) from the wireless power receiving device (30) can be greater than the root mean square (RMS) voltage of the input voltage (Vac).
[0233] Alternatively, the variation range (Rga) of the first DC voltage (Vrc) from the wireless power receiving device (30) may be smaller than the peak voltage of the input voltage (Vac).
[0234] Meanwhile, the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) from the wireless power receiving device (30) may be greater than the peak voltage of the input voltage (Vac).
[0235] In this way, in response to fluctuations in the first DC voltage (Vrc) from the wireless power receiving device (30), it is preferable that the DC / DC converter (910) in the power supply unit (190) according to the embodiment of the present disclosure stably outputs the display driving voltage (Vdd).

[0246] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) so that when the first DC voltage (Vrc) is at the first level, the overlap period during turn-on is the first period.
[0247] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the first DC voltage (Vrc) to be greater than the first level and the second level when the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) turn on to be less than the first period.

[0249] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can increase the overlap period when the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) turn on as the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) decreases during phase shift mode operation. Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the first DC voltage (Vrc).
[0250] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the operation to be in phase shift mode when the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) is above the reference level, and when the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) is below the reference level, control the turn-on period of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) to overlap completely.
[0251] For example, the control unit (770) can control the first DC voltage (Vrc) to operate in a phase shift mode when the level of the first DC voltage is above a reference level and below an upper limit level.
[0252] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the first DC voltage (Vrc) so that it does not operate in phase shift mode when the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) is between the lower limit level and the reference level. That is, it can control the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) so that their turn-on periods overlap completely. Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc).

Accordingly, the wireless power receiving device (30) and the wireless power transmission device (20) can be operated stably.
[0258] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the overlapping period of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) when they turn on to the third period when the level of the display driving voltage (Vdd) is the third level.
[0259] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the overlapping period of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) when they turn on to a fourth period that is greater than the third period when the level of the display driving voltage (Vdd) is a fourth level greater than the third level. Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the level of the display driving voltage (Vdd).
[0260] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can increase the overlap period of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) when they turn on as the level of the display driving voltage (Vdd) increases.

[0289] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the third switching element (S3) to operate complementarily with the fourth switching element (S4).
[0290] That is, the control unit (770) can turn off the third switching element (S3) by outputting a low-level switching control signal during the intervals of Tr1~Tr2, Tr3~Tr4, Tr5~Tr6, and Tr7~Tr8.
[0291] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can turn on the third switching element (S3) by outputting a high-level switching control signal during the intervals of T1~Tr1, Tr2~Tr3, Tr4~Tr5, and Tr6~Tr7.

[0293] Meanwhile, depending on the phase shift mode, the turn-on periods of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) overlap during the periods of Tr1~T2, Tr3~T4, Tr5~T6, and Tr7~T8.
[0294] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) varies the overlap period of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) when they turn on, according to the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc).
[0295] For example, the control unit (770) can control the overlapping period when the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) turn on when the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) is approximately 620V to be a first period (Wmb) such as Tr7~T8 period, and when the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc) is approximately 670V to be a second period (Wma) such as Tr1~T2 period.
[0296] As shown in the drawing, it is preferable that the second period (Wma) is smaller than the first period (Wmb). Accordingly, it becomes possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the first DC voltage (Vrc).

[0343] Meanwhile, a fourth resistor element (R4) and a tenth switching element (SWb) are connected in series and arranged in the second leg between the nm terminal and the Ng terminal, which are the two ends of the second resistor element (R2).
[0344] Meanwhile, the power supply unit (190) can output a display driving voltage of the third level (LV1), a display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2), or a display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) based on the on or off of the ninth switching element (SWa) or the tenth switching element (SWb).
[0345] For example, the power supply unit (190) can output a display driving voltage of the third level (LV1) when both the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) are turned off in the first mode.
[0346] As another example, the power supply unit (190) can output a display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2) when, in the second mode, only one of the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) is turned on and the other is turned off.
[0347] As another example, the power supply unit (190) can output a display driving voltage of the 5th level (LV3) when both the 9th switching element (SWa) and the 10th switching element (SWb) are turned on in the 3rd mode. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce heat generation by supplying various display driving voltages.
[0348] Meanwhile, the DC / DC converter (910) may further include a voltage detection unit (915) that detects a display driving voltage output from the output terminal (No-Ng) of the transformer (905), and a control unit (770) that controls the first to fourth switching elements (S1~S4) based on the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915).
[0349] Meanwhile, the voltage detection unit (915) may include a regulator (SRa) electrically connected to one end of the second resistor element (R2) and a photocoupler (PTD) electrically connected to the regulator (SRa) to transmit the voltage between the two ends of the second resistor element (R2) to the control unit (770). Accordingly, based on the feedback of the voltage between the two ends of the second resistor element (R2), various display driving voltages can be supplied to reduce heat generation.
[0350] Meanwhile, the voltage detection unit (915) detects the voltage across the second resistor element (R2) (nm-Ng), and the control unit (770) can control the voltage at the output terminal (No-Ng) of the transformer (905) to increase as the voltage across the second resistor element (R2) decreases.
[0351] Meanwhile, the voltage detection unit (915) detects the voltage across the second resistor element (R2) (nm-Ng), and the control unit (770) can control the voltage at the output terminal (No-Ng) of the transformer (905) to decrease as the voltage across the second resistor element (R2) increases.
[0352] For example, the control unit (770) can control the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) such that when the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) during the first mode operation is lower than the first reference voltage corresponding to the first mode, the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) reaches the first reference voltage.
[0353] Specifically, the control unit (770) can control the turn-on duty of the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) to increase when, during the first mode operation, the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) is lower than the first reference voltage corresponding to the first mode. Accordingly, the display driving voltage corresponding to the first mode can be supplied.
[0354] As another example, the control unit (770) can control the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) such that when the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) during the first mode operation is higher than the first reference voltage corresponding to the first mode, the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) reaches the first reference voltage.
[0355] Specifically, the control unit (770) can control the turn-on duty of the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) to decrease when the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) during the first mode operation is higher than the first reference voltage corresponding to the first mode. Accordingly, the display driving voltage corresponding to the first mode can be supplied.
[0356] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) so that when the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) is lower than the second reference voltage corresponding to the second mode, the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) reaches the second reference voltage. Accordingly, the display driving voltage corresponding to the second mode can be supplied.
[0357] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) can control the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) so that when the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) is lower than the third reference voltage corresponding to the third mode, the voltage detected by the voltage detection unit (915) reaches the third reference voltage. Accordingly, the display driving voltage corresponding to the third mode can be supplied.
[0358] FIGS. 12a to 12e are drawings referenced in the description of FIG. 11.
[0359] Figure 12a is a diagram illustrating various levels of display driving voltage.
[0360] Referring to the drawing, the power supply unit (190) can output a display driving voltage of any one of the display driving voltages of the third level (LV1), the display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2), or the display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3).
[0361] Meanwhile, it is desirable that the difference (Vb) between the 5th level (LV3) and the 4th level (LV2) is greater than the difference (Va) between the 4th level (LV2) and the 3rd level (LV1).
[0362] For example, the display driving voltage of the third level (LV1) may be approximately 22V, the display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2) may be approximately 24V, and the display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) may be approximately 28V.
[0363] FIG. 12b is a diagram illustrating the multi-level voltage output circuit (935) of FIG. 11.
[0364] Referring to the drawing, the multi-level voltage output circuit (935) includes a first resistor element (R1) and a second resistor element (R2) connected in series to each other at the output terminal (No, Ng) of the transformer (905), a third resistor element (R3) and a ninth switching element (SWa) connected in series to each other within a ninth leg (legna) connected in parallel to both ends of the second resistor element (R2), and a fourth resistor element (R4) and a tenth switching element (SWb) connected in series to each other within a tenth leg (legnb) connected in parallel to both ends of the second resistor element (R2).
[0365] Meanwhile, the voltage detection unit (915) includes a regulator (SRa) electrically connected to one end of the second resistor element (R2) and a photocoupler (PTD) electrically connected to the regulator (SRa) and transmitting the voltage between the two ends of the second resistor element (R2) to the control unit (770).
[0366] At this time, the photocoupler (PTD) can be placed between one end (No) of the first resistor element and the regulator (SRa), as shown in the drawing.
[0367] The voltage detection unit (915) can transmit the detected current or the detected voltage to the control unit (770) based on the conduction of the photocoupler (PTD).
[0368] FIGS. 12c to 12e are drawings illustrating the operation of a multi-level voltage output circuit (935) in the first to third modes.
[0369] FIG. 12c illustrates a third mode in which both the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) are turned on.
[0370] FIG. 12d illustrates a second mode in which only one of the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) is turned on.
[0371] FIG. 12e illustrates that, as a first mode, both the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) are turned off.
[0372] For example, the explanation assumes that the resistance values of the first to fourth resistor elements are each 2KΩ.
[0373] In the first mode, since both the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) are turned off, the total resistance value becomes approximately 4KΩ due to the first resistor element and the second resistor element.
[0374] In the second mode, since only one of the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) is turned on, the resistance value across the second resistor element becomes 1KΩ, and considering the first resistor element, the total resistance value becomes approximately 3KΩ.
[0375] In the third mode, since both the ninth switching element (SWa) and the tenth switching element (SWb) are turned on, the resistance value across the second resistor element becomes 0.67KΩ, and considering the first resistor element, the total resistance value becomes approximately 2.67KΩ.
[0376] Ultimately, the total resistance value in the first mode becomes the largest, and the total resistance value in the third mode becomes the smallest.
[0377] The power supply unit (190) outputs a display driving voltage of the third level (LV1), a display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2), or a display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) by utilizing the difference in the total resistance value within the multi-level voltage output circuit (935) in the first to third modes.
[0378] Accordingly, by supplying various display driving voltages in various modes, it becomes possible to stably display images in various modes.
[0379] FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating the operation method of an image display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0380] Referring to the drawings, the signal processing device (170) of the image display device (100) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can control the output of a display driving voltage of a corresponding mode according to a selected mode among a first mode to a third mode displayed in a setting screen.
[0381] First, the signal processing unit (170) of the image display device (100) determines whether the first mode is set (S1105), and if applicable, controls the power supply unit (190) to output a display driving voltage of the third level (LV1) (S1110).
[0382] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) of the image display device (100) determines whether the second mode is set when the first mode is not set (S1115), and if applicable, controls the power supply unit (190) to output a display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2) (S1120).
[0383] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) of the image display device (100) determines whether the third mode is set when the second mode is not set (S1125), and if applicable, controls the power supply unit (190) to output a display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) (S1130).
[0384] The first mode at this time may be a first display mode or a first brightness mode.
[0385] Accordingly, heat generation can be reduced by supplying various display driving voltages.
[0386] FIGS. 14a to 14c are drawings referenced in the description of FIG. 13.
[0387] FIG. 14a illustrates that the High Dynamic Range Mode item (1212) is selected as the video output mode within the settings screen (1210) displayed on the display (180).
[0388] The signal processing device (170) controls the high dynamic range mode to be performed as an image output mode when the high dynamic range mode item (1212) is selected based on the remote control signal.
[0389] To this end, the signal processing device (170) can transmit a third mode selection signal to the power supply unit (190).
[0390] Meanwhile, the power supply unit (190) receives a third mode selection signal from the signal processing unit (170) when the image output mode of the signal processing unit (170) is a high dynamic range mode, and can output a display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) based on the third mode selection signal. Accordingly, a display driving voltage corresponding to the high dynamic range mode can be supplied, and consequently, heat generation can be reduced.
[0391] FIG. 14b illustrates that a first display mode item (1222), a second display mode item (1224), and a third display mode item (1226) are displayed within a setting screen (1220) displayed on a display (1800).
[0392] The first display mode can correspond to the display power control (DPC) on mode.
[0393] The second display mode can correspond to a display power control (DPC) off mode.
[0394] The third display mode can correspond to Peak on mode.
[0395] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) can control the power supply unit (190) to supply a display driving voltage of a third level (LV1) to the display (180)0) based on the first mode when a first display mode item (1222) corresponding to the display power control ON mode is selected within the setting screen (1220).
[0396] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) can control the power supply unit (190) to supply a display driving voltage of the fourth level (LV2) to the display (180) based on the second mode when a second display mode item (1224) corresponding to the display power control off mode is selected within the setting screen (1220).
[0397] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) can control the power supply unit (190) to supply a display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) to the display (180) based on the third mode when a third display mode item (1226) corresponding to the peak-on mode is selected within the setting screen (1220).
[0398] FIG. 14c illustrates that a first brightness mode item (1232), a second brightness mode item (1234), and a third brightness mode item (1236) are displayed within a setting screen (1230) displayed on a display (1800).
[0399] The first brightness mode can correspond to the Eco mode or Standard mode among the video output modes.
[0400] The second brightness mode can correspond to the movie mode or game mode among the video output modes.
[0401] The third brightness mode can correspond to the high dynamic range mode among the video output modes.
[0402] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) can control the power supply unit (190) to supply a display driving voltage of a third level (LV1) to the display (180)0) based on the first mode when a first brightness mode item (1232) corresponding to an eco mode or standard mode is selected within the setting screen (1230).
[0403] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) can control the power supply unit (190) to supply a display driving voltage of a fourth level (LV2) to the display (180) based on the second mode when a second brightness mode item (1234) corresponding to a movie mode or a game mode is selected within the setting screen (1230).
[0404] Meanwhile, the signal processing device (170) can control the power supply unit (190) to supply a display driving voltage of the fifth level (LV3) to the display (180) based on the third mode when a third brightness mode item (1236) corresponding to the high dynamic range mode is selected within the setting screen (1230).
[0405] Meanwhile, the power supply unit (190) according to the embodiment of the present disclosure varies the level of the display driving voltage based on the image output mode of the signal processing device (170).
[0406] For example, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the signal processing unit (170) to output a first display driving voltage when the video output mode is an eco mode or a standard mode, and to output a second display driving voltage higher than the first display driving voltage when the video output mode of the signal processing unit (170) is a movie mode or a game mode.
[0407] As another example, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the signal processing device (170) to output a third display driving voltage higher than the second display driving voltage when the image output mode of the signal processing device (170) is the high dynamic range mode. Accordingly, various display driving voltages can be stably output in various modes, thereby enabling stable image display.
[0408] FIG. 15 is an example of a flowchart illustrating the operation method of a wireless power transmission device and a wireless power receiving device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0409] Referring to the drawing, the wireless power transmission device (20) can convert the input AC voltage (Vac) into a DC voltage after power is turned on, and can establish a communication connection with the wireless power receiving device (30) based on the converted DC voltage (S1210).
[0410] For example, the communication unit (716) of the wireless power transmission device (20) can connect to the communication unit (726) in the wireless power receiving device (30) via Bluetooth communication and perform pairing.
[0411] Meanwhile, the communication unit (726) within the wireless power receiving device (30) receives a connection request from the communication unit (716) to the wireless power transmitting device (20), and can perform a communication connection based on the connection request (S1211).
[0412] That is, the communication unit (726) within the wireless power receiving device (30) receives a connection request from the communication unit (716) to the wireless power transmitting device (20), and can perform pairing based on the connection request.
[0413] Meanwhile, the wireless power transmission device (20) can convert the input AC voltage (Vac) into a DC voltage after power is turned on, and perform wireless power transmission based on the converted DC voltage.
[0414] In response to this, the wireless power receiving device (30) receives wireless power, outputs a first DC voltage (Vrc) based on the received power, converts the DC voltage based on the first DC voltage (Vrc), and supplies the converted DC voltage to each unit, including the communication unit (726).
[0415] Meanwhile, the power supply unit (190) can detect a first DC voltage input to the DC / DC converter (910) through an input voltage detection unit (DA), or detect a display driving voltage (Vdd) output to the DC / DC converter (910) through an output voltage detection unit (DD).
[0416] Next, the communication unit (726) within the wireless power receiving device (30) can transmit voltage information to the wireless power transmitting device (20) via the communication unit (716) (S1215).
[0417] In response to this, the communication unit (716) in the wireless power transmission device (20) can receive voltage information from the communication unit (726) in the wireless power receiving device (30) (S1216).
[0418] The voltage information at this time may be voltage information for the first DC voltage or voltage information for the display driving voltage.
[0419] Meanwhile, the processor (714) in the wireless power transmission device (20) can vary the wireless power based on voltage information for the first DC voltage or voltage information for the display driving voltage, and transmit the varied wireless power (S1220).
[0420] In response to this, the wireless power receiving device (30) can receive variable wireless power (S1221).
[0421] For example, the processor (714) in the wireless power receiving device (30) can control the transmitted wireless power to decrease as the voltage information for the first DC voltage is greater than or equal to the first reference value and the difference from the first reference value increases.
[0422] As another example, the processor (714) in the wireless power receiving device (30) can control the transmitted wireless power to increase as the voltage information for the first DC voltage is less than the first reference value and the difference from the first reference value increases.
[0423] Meanwhile, the processor (714) in the wireless power receiving device (30) can control the transmitted wireless power to decrease as the voltage information for the display driving voltage is greater than or equal to the second reference value and the difference from the second reference value increases.
[0424] As another example, the processor (714) in the wireless power receiving device (30) can control the transmitted wireless power to increase as the voltage information for the display driving voltage is less than the second reference value and the difference from the second reference value increases.
[0425] Next, the DC / DC converter (910) in the power supply unit (190) can convert the first DC voltage output from the wireless power receiving device (30) to output a display driving voltage (Vdd).
[0426] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) determines whether operation in phase shift mode of the DC / DC converter (910) is required (S1221), and if applicable, can control operation in phase shift mode.
[0427] That is, the control unit (770) in the power supply unit (190) can control the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) among the plurality of switching elements (S1~S4) in the DC / DC converter (910) to overlap a portion of the turn-on period based on the phase shift mode (S1230).
[0428] In particular, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) varies the overlap period of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) when they turn on, depending on the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc).
[0429] For example, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) controls the first DC voltage (Vrc) to be at a first level so that the overlap period when the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) turn on becomes a first period, and when the first DC voltage (Vrc) is at a second level greater than the first level, controls the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) to be at a second period smaller than the first period. Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image based on wireless power transmission. In particular, it is possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the first DC voltage (Vrc).
[0430] Meanwhile, in step 1221 (S1221), the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can vary the switching frequency of the first to fourth switching elements (S1~S4), and control them to operate in a phase shift mode when the switching frequency is greater than or equal to the reference frequency.
[0431] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can vary the switching frequency of the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4), and control the switching frequency so that it does not operate in phase shift mode when the switching frequency is less than the reference frequency.
[0432] That is, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) so that their turn-on periods overlap when the switching frequency is less than the reference frequency. Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image based on wireless power transmission.
[0433] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the reference frequency to increase as the level of the display driving voltage (Vdd) decreases. Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image based on wireless power transmission. In particular, it is possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the level of the display driving voltage (Vdd).
[0434] Alternatively, in step 1221 (S1221), the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) controls the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) to perform zero-voltage switching, and while the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) are performing zero-voltage switching, if the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) are unable to perform zero-voltage switching and the power consumed by the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) exceeds an allowable range, the control unit may be controlled to operate in a phase shift mode.
[0435] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) to perform zero-voltage switching, and control the wireless power transmitted from the wireless power transmission device (20) to be variable based on the zero-voltage switching.
[0436] For example, if zero-voltage switching is not performed by the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) and the power consumed by the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) exceeds the allowable range, the communication unit (726) in the wireless power receiving device (30) can transmit voltage information for variable wireless power to the wireless power transmission device (20) via the communication unit (716) (S1215).
[0437] Accordingly, the wireless power transmission device (20) can vary the wireless power, and consequently, the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) can perform zero-voltage switching based on the variable wireless power.
[0438] Meanwhile, a control unit (770) within a power supply unit (190) according to another embodiment of the present disclosure performs a phase shift mode in response to fluctuations in a first DC voltage (Vrc) output from a wireless power receiving device (30), and when the phase shift mode is operated, the overlap period of turning on some of the switching elements (S1, S4) among the plurality of switching elements (S1~S4) in the DC / DC converter (910) varies according to the level of the first DC voltage (Vrc). Accordingly, it is possible to stably display an image based on wireless power transmission. In particular, it is possible to stably display an image in response to fluctuations in the DC voltage received from the wireless power receiving device (30).
[0439] Figure 16 is a drawing referenced in the description of Figure 15.
[0440] Specifically, FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a gain corresponding to the operating frequency of a plurality of switching elements (S1 to S4) in a DC / DC converter (910).
[0441] Referring to the drawing, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can vary the switching frequency within a variable range (THa~THb) of the switching frequency based on the gain graph (GRap) relative to the operating frequency.
[0442] For example, THa is approximately 100KHz, and THb can be approximately 200KHz.
[0443] Meanwhile, if the switching frequency is less than the lower limit standard THa, the voltage gain of the DC / DC converter (910) is low and therefore undesirable, and if the switching frequency is greater than the upper limit standard THb, it is undesirable due to reduced efficiency and heat generation.
[0444] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can vary the switching frequency of the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) within a first range, and control them to operate in a phase shift mode when the switching frequency is greater than or equal to a reference frequency within the first range.
[0445] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can vary the first range or reference frequency according to the display mode.
[0446] For example, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the first range or reference frequency to be larger when the display power control on mode corresponding to the first display mode is greater than when the display power control off mode corresponding to the second display mode is greater.
[0447] In the case of a display power control off mode corresponding to a second display mode, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can set a first range (RGa) for varying the switching frequency to f1 to f3.
[0448] And, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can be controlled to operate in a phase shift mode as described above when the switching frequency is greater than or equal to the reference frequency (fr1) within the first range (RGa) while in a state of the display power control off mode corresponding to the second display mode. Accordingly, an image can be stably displayed based on wireless power transmission.
[0449] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can be controlled so that it does not operate in phase shift mode when the switching frequency is less than the reference frequency (fr1) within the first range (RGa) while in a display power control off mode corresponding to the second display mode. That is, it can be controlled to operate in LCC mode in which the turn-on periods of the first switching element (S1) and the fourth switching element (S4) are all overlapped.
[0450] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can set the first range (RGb) for varying the switching frequency to f2 to f4 when the display power control on mode corresponding to the first display mode is in place.
[0451] In this case, it is desirable that f2 is greater than f1 and f4 is greater than f3.
[0452] And, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can be controlled to operate in a phase shift mode as described above when the switching frequency is greater than or equal to the reference frequency (fr2) within the first range (RGb) while in a display power control on mode corresponding to the first display mode. Accordingly, an image can be stably displayed based on wireless power transmission.
[0453] In this case, it is desirable that fr2 be larger than fr1.
[0454] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can be controlled so that it does not operate in phase shift mode when the switching frequency is less than the reference frequency (fr2) within the first range (RGb) while in a display power control on mode corresponding to the first display mode. That is, it can be controlled to operate in LCC mode.
[0455] Meanwhile, the control unit (770) within the power supply unit (190) can control the power to be turned off when the switching frequency of the first to fourth switching elements (S1 to S4) deviates from the first range (RGa or RGb). Accordingly, it is possible to stably display images based on wireless power transmission.
[0456] Meanwhile, the wireless power transmission device (20) forms a magnetic field for wireless power to the wireless power receiving device (30), and can control the magnetic field strength in the side areas (ARea, Areb in FIG. 18) to be greater than that in the central area (ARct in FIG. 18). Accordingly, stable wireless power transmission becomes possible.
