Apparatus and method for converting image display mode
First Claim
1. An image display mode conversion apparatus comprising:
- a display unit displaying image data included in an image signal;
an image characteristic parameter detector detecting an image characteristic parameter which is information regarding whether the image data included in the image signal represents a two-dimensional (2D) image or a three-dimensional (3D) image; and
an operation mode conversion determining unit receiving the detected image characteristic parameter, determining whether or not an operation mode of the display unit should be converted, and outputting an operation mode conversion signal to the display unit according to the determination result.

Abstract
An image display mode conversion apparatus and method, the apparatus having a display unit displaying image data included in an image signal, an image characteristic parameter detector detecting an image characteristic parameter which is information regarding whether the image data included in the image signal represents a two-dimensional (2D) image or a three-dimensional (3D) image, and an operation mode conversion determining unit receiving the detected image characteristic parameter, determining whether or not an operation mode of the display unit should be converted, and outputting an operation mode conversion signal to the display unit according to the determination result. Therefore, it is possible to provide more convenience to users in various fields, such as a 3D image broadcasting and so on, by implementing the image display mode conversion apparatus in a digital broadcast standard system.

15. An image display mode conversion method comprising:
-
receiving an image characteristic parameter which is information regarding whether image data represents a two-dimensional (2D) image or a three-dimensional (3D) image;
comparing the received image characteristic parameter with a previous image characteristic parameter representing a characteristic of image data which is currently being displayed to determine whether or not the received image characteristic parameter is different from the previous image characteristic parameter; and
if the received image characteristic parameter is different from the previous image characteristic parameter, outputting to a display unit for displaying the image data, an operation mode conversion signal for converting an image display mode into an operation mode corresponding to the received image characteristic parameter. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27)
