Abstract

A display device includes a main body, an interface unit, and a detachable housing. The interface unit interconnects the detachable housing with the main body. The detachable housing includes an on screen display (OSD) unit for storing a plurality of OSD data, and a command input unit for generating command signals in response to operations of a user. The main body receives the command signals through the interface unit, identifies the command signals, and if required, performing predetermined functions to obtain OSD data from the OSD unit through the interface unit, to display an OSD menu corresponding to the obtained OSD data, and adjust any parameters of the OSD menu according to the corresponding command signals.

Claims
